I have two questions, one about voice coil depth, the other about frames:

It apparently has become common to recone the TAD Alnico frames with the cone kit for the 1603 (ferrite). The TAD 1601, 1601a, 1601b and 1602 woofers are designed with an underhung voice coil/gap. With the 1603 cone in those frames I believe they will be OVERHUNG.
