    Post some pictures of the drivers, inside and out and the crossovers if possible.

    Please keep in mind when I swapped the good horn assembly from the left cabinet and placed in the right, I got the same higher frequencies that are in the left. I believe this proves the right cabinet crossover is good?

    @Mike Caldwell: At this point I'm going to send both drivers to Bill, once I receive the used Tangerine plug. I've already fried three diaphragms, including the two rare 23744's. I did try to clean the voice coil gag when I installed the GPA 34647. Like you mentioned; there isn't much if any play due to the centering pins. Maybe Bill can run some frequency tests when he has both drivers and compare the two. He said the right-side was fine but didn't have both drivers at that time.

    Between the right-driver not having the orange radial plug and having two diaphragm spacers, maybe is enough to have the muddier sound compared to the left-side.

    What's weird is if the left-cabinet didn't sound so good, I probably would have never known the right is muddier.
