@Hifisnubben , a friendly reminder: hope you remembered to remove the tape use to identify left and right since its covering up the vent hole

For everyone else, what have you been using to mount the drivers?

Oh yes, i did remember to remove the tape

usually foam tape. I've also used some wood putty in the past

Never figured wood putty but its a great idea, thanks for the tip.

I use foam tape from McMaster Carr. Super-cheap and works beautifully.

Going to be a perfect fit, just a quick question, are you guys just using superglue to secure the SMC connector in the cups?

As the securing screw won't fit due to the thickness of the wood

I'm thinking now is a good time to glue the drivers into the cups once I have the sockets installed, what is the best kind of glue to use for that purpose?

Thanks

I've used both super glue and hot glue for the SMC jack but since I fill-in the slot and drill a new hole the fit is quite snug


I forgot to say that for the drivers I use paper medical tape or plumbers Teflon tape.

Elmer's wood glue if you're gluing in the drivers and they are press fitted.

That's what Grado uses

@wormsdriver , how hard are the drivers to remove if you use the Elmer's glue? It was a PITA to remove the drivers from my RS2e and if its the same I don't want to work that hard again.

I used superglue to secure the SMC connectors as recommended by DavidA

@WoodyLuvr , super glue for the drivers or SMC jacks?

Same as the wooden Grados, which is a PITA indeed! I only mentioned it because @Oscar-HiFi mentioned gluing in the drivers

Actually gents, @Oscar-HiFi was referring to SMC connectors (not drivers) in regards to gluing
