I'll get into the why part and save acoustical discussions, pros/cons for later... but first I just need to determine if this is even physically possible to implement.
I was looking at http://www.bwgroup-support.com/partspriceavail.html and saw many FST mids that are potentially swappable into my N803’s (drivers that are better than the default units).
LF00264 803D 3-4S
LF00315 HTM2D 3S
ZZ12998 SIG HTM
ZZ12777 SIG 800
ZZ11290 N801-2
ZZ13013 N800
LF00175 800-1-2D
Which ones match the mounting depth, drawbar thread size and driver diameter to the N803? [Measured accurate to 1 millimeter or something?]
I've never even seen the magnet structure of these units, so I can't even start to guess at the answer without purchasing them. (pictures welcomed)
If the drawbar thread-size doesn't fit... then perhaps it is simply a matter of ordering a matching drawbar/drawbolt, that's assuming it would then match the box length and existing rear-isolator drawbolt box hole?
OMG is this not the most impossibl-est to answer B&W question of all time... EVER!!! ? :thud:
I have emailed this question off to B&W today (fingers crossed).
;x( Any Sig-Prestige/Diamond/Marlan-head owners brave enough to pull out their FST's and measure/take pics?
Any B&W designers/factory-workers in the audience?
Anyone who has actually attempted this mod?
