View Full Version : Will The 2205's Fit My L200 Cabinets???

I know it sounds stupid, but the 130As are really to big for the front-mount holes and the speakers won't mount flush with the cabinet face. (They literally ROCK!:D ) OCS sells gaskets that I can put between the woofer and the box to raise the speaker out a little and the 130As really should have had these. Will I need these gaskets using the 2205's? While the newer speakers list a cutout of 13-31/32" for front mount, I can't find this measurement in the old 130A literature.

Thanks.

2235's popped right in. I suspect 2205's will as well.

I recall D130's didn't fit my 2507 cabinets, which were cut for 2226.

I'd use self-adhesive weatherstrip from the hardware store, and make my own gaskets....

The early frames were meant for rear-mount. The later frames have the small relief for the O-ring seal. The mounting hole will need to routed out a smidge to front mount the frames with no O-ring relief
