Replacing 14-1 w/14-3 in a 250

[opimax]

Received woofers yesterday. Luckily bribed a coworker for a rde home at lunch since they are too heavy to carry on the subway/bus/walk home. Finally about midnight I attempted install.

Original mounting screws are too short. The mounting holles are the same location but the lip is almost a 1/4 -1/2 inch thicker.

Also noted that surround sticks out past the frame so laying them face down is no longer accetpable...which also may make the grill interfer with them. I didn't finish checking, needed a 3rd hand

I bought longer (silver ) screw at the hardware store this morniing, 2nd attempt tonight

Get some gun blue and do the heads then they won't look like a pimple on a bum.

I can assure you even if silver suddenly becomes the "hot" thing they still won't be silver too long. 1st to make sure not fitmant issues then make pretty.

My 108, 104 and (044 used) included gaskets , these didn't. nor are they packed as well as the other drivers. My supplier nicely dbl boxed.

You can strip the rope gaskets off the LE-14H-1, assuming they have them, and use those temporarilly. That's what I did when I put mine in my subs for safe keeping and a little break in.

I did reuse the old ones they are already installed in the speakers, thanks much

what is this "temporarilly" though??? lol

Can I buy at a reg stereo store like a Tweeter?

Mark,
I use these guys all the time for specialty bolts and nuts. They have it all. They will have the correct bolt, length, and color you need. You could even do Allen, or Torx Head if so desired.
