  And presumably these crossbars should not be made of steel?"
  
  Why not steel if stiffness is required? The slightly curved back of my T-IVa mids are stiffer than any other of my Magnepan drivers.

    But now I think about it, Roger ... Magnepan used steel crossbars on my Maggie bass panels - so it can't be a problem!

  Andy-
  I'll experiment with the number of braces. Aluminum is usually my choice when doing metal work, as it's easier to machine. As a side benefit, it's not magnetic.
