[QUOTE="Jcsaudio, post: 8668457, member: 673752"] The fast rings will hold water after a little while, tried it myself and I don't think they actually work as advertised. The Fast Ring made no [B]discernible [/B]difference in SQ with my installation and the only reason I got them in the first place was because they were free with a set of speakers I bought. Not trying to rain on your parade either but I would be surprised if those silver flutes sound better than those high res Sony's you had. The Sony tweeter might have been **** but I bet the woofer was half way decent. The Sony's are made for a car door with a higher total Q and a resonant frequency ~ 60-80. The Silver Flutes have an fs of about 37.5 and a total Q at a low .24.
