I want something pourable. With a little bit of flow. I never feel safe using squeeze in products , you never know if it will flow all the way down to the bottom of the chamber.
Which of the two I chose has more pour-ability ? Is it the Higher or Lower cps number? if its the lower then the Qsil 553 i'll get.
A bit expensive but i want it as close to stock as possible. I wonder how many tubes a Quart will do?
I have all but one Housing striped and painted with VHT epoxy paint. The last LC housing I have to
strip has a used Green Thomas tube I mounted for testing the VNB mod to make them work with the Sony 09MEX
pin out's.
I also realized I have three 8" LC housing here. I'll have to do the same with these and maybe use the longbows 8" tubes for a 8" LC projector project. Maybe get another set of 8" LC housing incase I don't like the Thomas tubes.
OR......I can wait for another G90 to show up localy and do a G90 blend.
So many Options !!

I think the 9" conversion will happen way before that!!
But there is a guy locally that has a G90. he came to my diner one day and introduced himself.I think his name was john I lost a PM he sent me. I wanted to get in contact with him to go help him with the G90 and forgot. Your post just reminded me.
But either way Your more than welcome to stop by anytime your down here visiting.

Nash,
I have a set of 8" LC tubes without the Green C-element that I would offer up to only you should you decide to go that way. I myself have been toying with the idea of doing a 9"LC stack. But, I need to get one working first, before I can even think about doing two. Plus I would need a second set of 9" chambers/tubes.
Anyhow, Food for thought as they are staying with me otherwise.
James

I'm not sure you will be satisfied with those tubes. I found them to be real sharp but only at lower output. Perhaps the Marquees circuitry will handle it better.
As for mounting in those housings, I would lay in a small bead (1/16th) of black general purpose silicone on the face edge of the tube setting them in place and let them dry. At this stage of the game you will probably only be doing this one last time so I would use any 1 hr epoxy to fill the gap to hold it in place. That fully cures in 24 hrs and you'll be good to go.
God help you if you wish to do it again

Fiberglass may be better in that application.

I redid my truck I had in my 20's with fiberglass. I looked at it recently. It's still holding up! Well the fiberglass areas are. The rest of truck, not so much.
That should hold around that woofer OK.

Nash this immediately came to my mind and I want to echo Chip's warning. My Thomas tubes could not focus worth a damn at contrast levels above 40, and even below 40 they were terrible compared to Panasonic tubes. Even 8" tubes. Granted mine seem worse than yours or Chip's (I would never call mine real sharp..not even sharp, at any contrast level).
Please figure out if these will work before you spend a ton of time and epoxy them into your LC housings. Maybe just do one (green, perhaps) to test?
All I know is I spent hours prepping and setting all my tubes and got a sh*tty result, and I don't want it to happen to you.

I have tested the green. I thought it was very good. Now remember Ben you had used tubes. These are new. Now I know chips were new, but the ampro is different. and if its is not as sharp at the level I want i9 dont think it really matters since i'll be running 800p.
plus Im bored and this gives me something to do.
Thanks for the concern guys.

LOL, yeah when I get home i forget about that nut job place and do my own thing.
I just sent Antoine a question about the Tubes to see if they needed a Higher
HV voltage. he said they were spot knocked at 40KV for testing but were run in the
Trident T-1080 at 34.5KV. He said the 34.9 KV of the marquee should not be a problem.
he did say in the Marquee it be best to run a lower G2 than normal. I did notice that
in my test of the new and used tube. He also said he has a set of yokes and Focus coils
from the Trident he'd send me.  the Focus coils are 4lbs each!!!!
I might ask him for them. Just to see what they are. Moowwaaaaaa!!!!!
