I just purchased a pair of JBL 2426 compression drivers and want to mount them in an existing cabinets with fiberglass horns. The cabinets are built with a steel plate, drilled for the JBL 1" compression drivers and is attached to the walls of the cabinet to support both the horn throat and the driver itself. When I began to attach the drivers, I felt a strong magnetic pull between the driver and the steel plate. The question is: Will mounting these drivers to the steel plates affect or reduce the performance of these drivers? Will it weaken the magnetic strength now...or over time?
Thanks.
