Thanks for the reply
To answer your question, I already have some L-pads on the way.
I listen to singer/song writers, so vocal range is important. If I used the xover calculator right, I used a 3.3uf for a 3K xover. The voices came into the room, but the horn was screaming. I moved the xover up to 4K9(wanted 4K, but miscalculated) with 2.2uf. Became very listenable. Added a 0.47uf to the 2.2uf, but the screaming came back.

When I get the L-pads, I'll go back to the 3.3uf and see if I can tame the screaming.
I'll get some oil caps when I settle on a cap value.

Any other advice will be appreciated.

I use a pair of subs with the OB 605b's.
