Experimenting with damping material (Singular)

Try to add a resistor in parallel with the tweeter (around 22 ohms) to
dampen it a bit, should make it less "present". Instead of 12dB you could
also use a smaller capacitor (470nF) to tune the high frequencies so that
the overlap remains a bit wide for freshness. This by itself willreduce
the output at its lower frequencies.

the tweeter is 3.5dB more efficient than the main driver.
I have a bag of 1uF capacitors so I will put another one in series to drop the value, thanks Bert, I didn't expect such a quick and helpful answer.

I found another interesting cabinet for drivers similar to the Fe207E. a double back vented reflex horn type thing. Search for: frugal horn spawn Bruce.
It might have potential for AER drivers. Slightly more complicated build than the singulars but a similar amount of material.
