to replace the two blown LE85 diapragms . Woofers just re - foamed .
If I were to add a JBL Slot Radiator to the " mix " , what sort of a
" High - Pass " would I need ? Just a Cap , or a coil also ? I am 75 , so
if it is a little brighter , skipping any Resistor would probably be Okay .
The diagram of the original LX7 is on this site . However , Mr. Greg Timbers sent me a complete set of parts to build a new pair , FREE , with a pair of GIGANTIC Air Coils ! His " new " LX7 is " modern " , and perhaps differs slightly from the original . If you need that info , I can send you a
picture of that diagram .
Just missed a pair of Slot Radiators on Ebay ; ( but , perhaps , they had been " stressed " !!?? )

This way we can see what your doing.

If you are considering this I would look at the JBL 2405 slots in ceramic motors since they are a lot less expensive than the 077 or 2405 alnico drivers. ...just make sure you are using JBL OEM diaphragms.
Avoid e-bay, if possible.
Who sells the Ceramic ones ? Is the sound different in any way from theAlnico ? Or the Power Handling , etc. ?
