I have some questions for materials.ModPodge, ZIG 2-way glue for the preprep. High solids train paint for the spots and the clear glosss (used for covering decals on models).
1) Clear gloss means Modpodge gloss?
2) Can I use urethane paint for alminium dust cap?
I couldn't find high solids paint .
Would I be better off leaving them stock
IME, yes, since preserving as much efficiency as practical is the ideal goal and based solely on the published response plot, toe them in 15-30 degs or more so that they cross at some point in front of your face [usually about the width of it] where they sound most tonally balanced over the widest BW and if the extreme HF is missing, then either boost 16 kHz-up or add a true super tweeter [typically a piezo element] capped off ~ [4 - 6] octaves higher to 'taste'.

Clear gloss is an acrylic, ModPodge is a PVA.
Don’t know about urethane.

This is the kind of paint you want.
Testors Enamel Paint 1107 Turquoise
Google is not finding me Japanese sources. You are looking for a hobby shop that sells plastic models.
Gloss: Model Master Acryl Clear Flat, 1 oz.
This should be at the same model store.
ModPodge should be findable at a general craft store. Also the ZIG, but finding the exact brand could be tricky. It “dries” if left inthe air, put it between 2 pieces of paper and it is like stickies.
Here is a set of A1/A2/A3/A4/A5 nibs: Speedball Calligraphy Nibs | The Paint Spot - Art Supplies and Art Classes, Edmonton
And a 56: https://www.amazon.com/Speedball-School-Pen-Fine-Pack/dp/B000BYT4DY

Ed LaFontaine may still be selling kits of material (Train Paint/Gloss/Nibs maybe to, but shipping likely much more than the kit.
I have lots too and could spare some.

The aluminum cap gets a coat of isopropanol to remove residue, then the EnABLe spots and than a 50% thinned coat of gloss (allthe gloss is used at 50%)

Wow FF85wk is amazing driver.
So smooth than I thought from reviews in my environment.
Feel like why I didn't have this until now???
I also bought solid core cable made by Audio-technica.
Solid core cable is best for me.
Thank you Dave,uFonken box plan is the art.

RLC is a bandaid. The Zig on the back (and the extra EnABL ring) work to discourage this peak.

Can we assume both methods can give the same result, and if they do, does one have an advantage over the other?
They are complementary. The ZIG likely has the greater effect, do note that the extra row of spots is right on the other side of the cone.

They are complementary.
Are you saying they should be used together or did you mean they're equivalent?
Hello Dave.
I am thinking to enable SB65wbac25-4.

Do you think it's good to enable like this?

I’d have to do a tap test to tell.
