I am having buyers remorse this morning since from what Charles and others have said they do not seem to be the best Altecs....I am taking a bunch of audio stuff to the SA if I find the receipt I might return them I have 7 days...

Carl what is a 375 a tweeter? are you talking about the tweeter dimensions or the bass port?

Dave when you add a supertweeter are you bi-wiring it from the amps or actually putting it in the crossover somewhere?

I did not take them back.......I will play with them for a bit and order some foam surrounds...
if the RSL woofers fit I will use those just to see how they sound. But it is really hot today...
might not get around to it...

Good hunting to ya. You oughta consider heading down to Costa Misery;) to escape the heat, we're a good twenty degrees cooler here. Eric Burdon and the Animals are playin' at the big 60th anniversary shindig down here in front of city hall, across from the Orange County Fairgrounds. There'll be three different stages and a huge street fair. A big fireworks display is scheduled for tonight. Come on down, the beer's on me.:)
