I bought a 4’ X 100’ roll of the stuff JBL uses /used from CTI? I am down to the point where I should order another. I will have to see if I can remember for sure where it came from.
I don’t sweat airborne fibers. They are heavy.
Is glass a carcinogenic in CA now?
Barry.
If we knew what the hell we were doing, we wouldn't call it research would we.
Yeah, but luckily you are in Nevada so no need to worry. It is only a carcinogen in CA.
Seriously, I doubt the particles are small enough to be a carcinogen, but I bet it is still quite unhealthy to breath the stuff. The stuff JBL uses/used and the Wrapon stuff I use is fairly non-shedding, but if coaxed, I imagine you can get some of it airborne.

Simply wear a face mask during installation.
It’s only a problem when you start cutting or tearing apart the fibre glass.
I drew up the wiring diagram as I understand it. This was wired by the original owner and so I wanted to have you all take a look at it for any mistakes.
Also,I believe the Green and Red wires terminated at the Red posts on the drivers. Is this correct? Red is the positive side of the drivers, is green the positive wire?
See the attached PDF

Your diagram shows the same color/connections as mine were done (by a JBL Pro tech) when I had them add the N8000/077s.
(I don't use the LX16 anymore, am bi-amped directly to the new woof and the N8000.)
I've made some progress on one speaker. I need to complete the finish coat and attach the riser.
I was wondering what speaker cloth most of you use. Not sure what color I want yet, but would like to do some informed research.
Very Nice!!
Foam grills, very exact reproductions for the original look, they mount on ordinary window screens:

I looked over the suggested grills and decided to make my own, but thanks for the suggestion it really helped with my choice in color and style. I ordered the badges this morning.
I am also looking at the repop lenses but wanted to know if they make an improvement to the sound especially in a small room.

My listening room is approx. 12 x 12 with 8 foot ceiling. I will be using one of the following configurations:
Marantz PM-17
Marantz PM-7005
Dynaco PAS 3 with Dynaco ST 70
My source is an Empire 208 with Jelco 370H tonearm, or AR XA with Grace 707 Tonearm
and a Marantz CD 6008.
I know these speaker are very large but I normally listen around 80db. I listen to acoustic rock and blues, some jazz, and some pop.
Thanks

That’s quite a transformation, congratulations!
I suggest you get the lenses. The Kenrick Sound reproduction lenses are excellent quality and the H91 horns were never meant to be used without an appropriate acoustic lens.

Thanks Mr Widget, I will get a letter out to Santa ASAP...
