The only thing they have in common is the frame. Maybe the terminal posts and voice coil leads.

Maybe this is better via PM, AB strike me down if so...
What would potentially be of interest, are "horn treatments".
The could e.g. be foam 'lips' around the openeing (mouth), or actual plugs intended to fill the interior (or portion thereof) of particular horn designs.
e.g. see: http://www.hostboard.com/forums/f700...rn#post1803598
The plugs would in many cases require 3d shaping ability to match the interior contours, and specific densities of 'reticulated foam' are desired.
If that's in the cards, I'd like to hear more.

I've made and sold a few but quit offering them as they were a PITA to make.
Now if I could get some help for my business...
WTB- Rear covers for 802/806/807/808 style drivers. They can be the old style or new style. I need at least one, but would be interested in up to 3. It?s ok to have mixed or matched new and old style.
I don?t need terminals, just the cover.
I know Bill sells new covers, but if I could find some a little cheaper I would prefer that.
Oh and they can be green or black.
All speakers sold
