Thanks so much for sticking with me the whole way through!

WOW! They sound AMAZING! :bouncy: Detail, imaging, unreal. Bass is fantastic. SO happy with them! :applaud:

Understood, thanks! :bouncy:

So here's how I'll incorporate the resistor and pot into the 2nd order Butterworth that is the N800D. Top is the network w/o attenuation, bottom is the network w/ the resistor and the pot wired in. ...

Thank you!

I guess I never took a moment to appreciate that the N800-D is simply a 2nd order Butterworth with HF attenuation. That being the case I suppose I could use the pots I got after all,...

Setback, the Parts-Express Dayton L-pads won't work. I thought it was a constant 8-ohms from pin 1 to pin 3, with pin 2 sweeping between them. If that were the case, I could connect pin 1 to my...

After spending the morning doing some more research, it appears that there are a variety of options for an 800Hz crossover.

I could take the Heathkit AS-101 route, or a couple others like N809-8A...

I'm suspecting the crossovers were a DIY N501-8A attempt (which seems odd if the horns are 811s, maybe a mistake by the DIY'er). The black box appears impenetrable ...

...

Gee Dee Em thank you! That chart is fantastic. Given the thickness of the wood and the internal sound deadening material, I think the internal volume is probably closer to or a little under 7 cubic...

Wow, thanks! Perfect. Will read.

Yes, I was hoping that the design of the A7 type enclosure might increase the sensitivity of the bass frequencies, and also was wondering whether it was designed to work with the woofer more...

My plan is to see if I can dig into those black crossover boxes and see what's inside. Hopefully they aren't filled with tar. Knock on wood.

I'd love any thoughts on the benefits of A7 VOT...

Thanks so much. I'd love some more help figuring out the crossovers and deciding if it'd improve the sound to find some A7 cabinets. The horn is 18.5" wide, edge to edge from the back. Must be 811s....

I stumbled across a pair of these today, and am not sure what to make of them. They are in DIY cabinets around 2 feet wide, 1.5 feet deep, and 3 feet tall. They sound great but a little thin ......
