For home Hi-Fi use a aluminum diaphram is best(Pascalite is hardened aluminum and I use them in my 902s and they sound great) Bill Hanuschack at Great Plains can supply your needs for diaphrams!
2. I don't have an Altec crossover. These should crossover at 500hz right? Does anyone have a schematic for a 500hz crossover? Are the ones on the internet calculators ok? Or should I try and source an Altec one?
I differ from others in this regard. I would use a 1500hz crossover(2nd order low-pass and 3rd order high-pass)
Thanks in advance for your time.
