BOX STUFFING
"It is very light and has hair from one side." and "glue the box with 3-5cm of high-density foam".
- Do you use both a high-density foam and the light and hairy material on top of that, or are they the same?
- Do you mean to glue on 3-5cm thick chunks of dampening material, or to spray on something like polyurethane foam spray (the hard stuff that I believe John used to fill your back chambers with in order to DECREASE internal volume)?
Apparently there are flexible types of foam too.. www.pfa.org

1" HORNS
Are your referring to these as original Altec horns: http://www.webbtjanst.se/lenco/images/loudspeakers/pict4256.jpg ?
I don't know if Altec made similar horns, but these are from a shop called Stereo Lab, or something similar.. Quite a hard resin material, but not metal-like.

CROSSOVER
I changed the crossover point between Fane and Fostex from 1850Hz to 925Hz. I did it mainly to see if it would cure the shouting Altecs. The new XO point stayed when the Fostex were put back in.
I believe it works much better, but there were many adjustments around the same time.
Thanks for reminding me to unload the mid bass horn from LF! I had completely forgotten.


"PS: BTW, do not forget drive the horns with a SET...."
-Oh rub it in why dont ya! ;-)
This may become 6 channels of SET: http://www.webbtjanst.se/lenco/images/loudspeakers/pict4255.jpg

Thanks for your help!!
