    Well, it's a matter of the need to shelve down the HF horn's higher efficiency, which in turn lowers the amount of peak power required relative to the bass cab.

    A very good plan regardless of brand/model, especially in this case since these are extremely wide range woofers with different doping material thanks to EPA and maybe other [detail] differences between then and now that can affect the driver's response.
    Well, I think one 416-8A is functioning fine, but what do I know...?
    Not much.

    The other sounds good too, but I heard some rattling from it. Thought it was the cabinet for a minute, then following my ear around the cab- and pressing on things and what not, ended up at a tear in the lower portion of one 416-8A that was barely visible. And that's where I concluded the search - why go further at that point?

    i've used fingernail hardener, for really small holes/tears.

    doesn't take much.

    my mom actually gave me a bottle of the same,

    over 40 years ago.

    though it dried out in less than 10 years ....
    guns kill people,

    like spoons made rush limbaugh,
