Sam,
Nice to hear from you again. As you can see I am still in the process of trying to put together 2-way with my 288/311-60 combo. I can't time/phase align due to the weight of these 30+ lbs monsters (Altec horn/driver), so I am going for phase alignment(I think that is what I mean) The reason I went for 600 hz is because I have 4 6mh coils already and only have to get the 4 caps to match.
The reason I have to try out these different combo's is I have several 2226J's and pair of 2226H's. I have various Altec horn/drivers and when I was younger and had no money (not that I am rich now, cause I'm not) I never had the option to experiment and had to settle for what fell my way. I have had several people in the Ohio area (Central Ohio,Columbus) stop by with their amps (tube and solid state) to try them out on my speakers so they could make decisions based on hearing instead of guessing. I guess I am trying to to for others what I did not have growing up. The opportunity to listen in a relaxed environment without a pushy salesman down my throat. Also, I am curious in nature.
Thanks for le for the 2226J, I will go to crossover page and plug in for my zoebel values. Regards, Ron
