what to use when installing Phase Plugs

[karma]

what would work better glue or a piece of steel on the bottom of the plug?

just trying it to see if thay sound better

For experimental evaluyation I'd suggest using a attractive piece of ferrous metal like steel. Glue is more a permanent installation technique.

I use Crazy Glue to hold my solid aluminum lathe turned plugs onto the pole piece end. I machine a circular liquid dam (like an O-ring groove just inside the OD on the flat end that butts up to the driver pole piece) on the phase plug to make sure that excess squeezed out glue won't make it beyond the phase plug diameter and sieze the driver.

BTW, are you per chance the fellow that got some Karlson enclosures and Altec drivers a few recent years back?

Use two countersunk screws, flush with the bottom.
