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

Dude, don't take them back. Refoam, recap those bad boys and mod them. Add a nice supertweeter.

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...

Stay cool, bro. It's going to be a brutal one where you are, over 110 degrees. I would've grabbed 'em.

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.

They usually come with about a ~1pf capacitor inside for a high pass of about 10,000hz and you simply piggyback them at the speakers terminals.
