I've spent some time reversing polarity on the 2441's. I don't think I have them out of phase.
I do have the positive side of the xover connected to the black terminal on the 2441, which I believe to be wired reverse polarity.
As originally wired, the bass (I've left the sub off for all of this) sounds tight and full. Things seem to blend well from the mid-bass right up through the Fostex tweeters.
When I reverse the polarity on the 2441's the bass is more reserved and I hear the Fostex come more to the front. I also hear a bit more sweetness in the upper end of the midrange.
So, I'm going to try and confirm with Jammin Jersey which diaphragms I have. I don't want to pull the drivers apart if I don't have to 'cuz they really sound pretty damn good.
I've got some Solens caps and inductors coming to do some simple experiments with the xovers.
I'm really glad I left the xovers exposed on pieces of plywood. Makes life much easier through all of this.
