  Awesome Al,
  
  Thanks for the great info and I should have some time to do this by the end of the year.
  
  Do I need to double the recipe and put them on both drivers?? or just the tweets?

    The R-C networks damp the normal-mode resonances of the cables, but don't do much for the common-mode resonances. This might be part of the reason why Cory M. had trouble with them on his Hurricane amps.
    
    I found they helped at the amp ends as well as the speaker ends of the cables. A friend tried this and found they helped at the speaker ends but not the amp ends. It seems that each setup is different and will benefit differently (or not at all).

    I'd definitely do each set of speaker cables that feed your system. The parts are cheap enough anyway, and you can always pull them out if you don't think they have an effect. It isn't so much just a problem with the high frequency drivers, it is pertinent to the whole system.

    Al has done much experimenting it seems, and he has tracked down the best parts that work for this. That's how I originally got the idea to make mine, so his advice is best on this matter. One thing I will say though is that somehow the "links" did not agree with my ASL Hurricanes. I had a problem with "shoutieness" and tracked the problem down to here. Removed them, and all was fine and dandy. The links worked well with my other amp, and improved things. I will have to do some fine tuning with values here I suppose, maybe it is loading in the audio band.

    I'm not using the links I have right now, if you would like, I'll throw them in an envelope and send them for you to try.

    
    Cory

      Hey Cory,
      
      That is a great offer on your part.
      
      I normally don't accept such things and like to do it myself. BUT many years ago, Powermatic made me a kind offer to send some aluminum tracks to stiffen up my speakers and I didn't take advantage of that and well sliced my mdf frames up something silly to make the too small ones I had bought work.
      
      So YES, I would like to accept your kind offer.
      
      Can you e-mail me at dawnrazor (dot) age@comcast (dot) net?
      
      THANKS.
