Love the new sound
The 1501AL-2 is faster, with at better kick, not much, but enough
The change in the crosover ( idea" stolen" from Vivaregina, 3 Ways to climp Everest ) makes a nice improvement on the horn.
smoother, and less metalic sound.
Cant stop smiling
Hi Brian,
is it from here

relative to the DD66000 NETWORK data

Impressive effort!
I'm glad to see you made it a two-man job, or maybe three persons including the picture taker. No one wants to see "Crushed under his Everest II" on your tombstone.
Out.
"Crushed under this tombstone" is the desirable form for the true Everest 4x or 6x hobbyist EOL, i would think
Rgd the networks, i think the components look OK with regard to coil cross-interaction (if not, where?), but improvements in component quality like Brian did for the bass units are also possible on the networks. At least measurable. If the listening experience improves that way is a very different question...

That’s a tough question... equating additional cost and improved sound quality.
Aside from that, I can’t really answer the question as I still haven’t installed my DD67000 networks because of the wrestling match you are now aware of!
That said, since the original DD66000 woofers have a rising response that the DD67000 woofers do not, I have to believe you (and I for that matter) should change the networks. I also believe the newer networks also offer more finesse in the upper midrange. Your network tweak will help, but I think after going this far, these drivers deserve going all the way.

So you have the networks, lying, waiting to be installed.. - nice
How much af the network do you have? If I may ask
Is it the complet network incl the new levelcontrol, without the batteri?
Or is it perhaps "just" networks for one woofer, and the midt horn?
I believe that the major difference is in the two midt networks - or am I wrong?
When doing multiple driver swaps one might want to consider making a template like the factories use. A simple sheet of hard plastic with the bolt patterns enlarged. Place the woofer into the cabinet, place the template over the woofer and then have it with the screws. I consider myself pretty handy with tools but sometimes Mr. Murphy show up.
