Shooot! This sound better than. I expected. Probably better than anything else. Not kiddin'. Started with 1uF caps for the ionovacs. Reduced them to .47 and perfect. The Ks have the same crossover that I use for the horns. A passive 4th order driven by a Sex amp. Powered by a SS class A 25watt amp.

If it wasn't for the ozone mKing me fly...

Sweeeeeeeeet! I'm pretty captivated by mine. With the subs they come alive. Plasma tweeters, now that has to be special!

Yeah, next step is the Hill Plasmatronics, with the large helium tank to reduce the ozone. You think batteries fro Quicky are costly and inconvenient? You ain't seen nothin' yet!

Paul Stubblebine and I have been saying for about 17 years that someday we will hook up the cutting lathe helium tank and get his Plasmatronics going. Maybe this year.
