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

For around a hunnert bucks you'll have a pretty decent test bed.
Hunnert bucks don't get ya too far any more.

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

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...

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.

I just might see if my RSL 3600 woofers will fit...since they are designed for a ported system (l100 clone)
they might work....and I have some Philip Soft dome tweeters too....nothing else going on this weekend.

Get the T/S parameters of the speaker and you'll be on the right track
