I briefly owned a pair of Altec 604D coax 12". Swapped them to a reseller for some PA stuff. They had the same basic idea, with an HF compression driver on the back of the magnet. Anyway, they used a light guage felt between the LF cone and the throat of the HF lens/horn. I would suggest you crawl under the bed and snip some of that scrim stuff, (or ask someone that sews) to make some fexible covers, and glue them between the pieces. That way, you are keeping dust/dirt/scuzz out of the voice coil to magnet area. I'm gonna try this idea with some junky 12" 4 ohm car subs I have laying around. They have a vented magnet- bet it goes all the way thru.
