So, after a week with weights piled on it, the curvy grille is almost flat.
I think it's probably flat enough to work without problems, but I'm going to give it another week and try to get it perfect.
In the meantime, I've just come back from paying the bass cabs a visit.
I think we're very nearly there with the B300s realigning themselves.
There's only rub now at the extremes of travel - well past the +/- 6mm that I think the linear excursion's specified at.
I'm going to give it a little longer though. Whilst patience isn't one of my strongest virtues, I'm aware that rushing things and scraping a voice coil to death will bring endless pain to the project.
With the advent of warmer weather, I've managed to convince myself that the last bit of gravity-assisted voice-coil realignment will happen sooner rather than later (I don't know how temperature sensitive the surround is, but I reckon there's some effect). The storage unit is freezing cold, even today when it's warm outside, but this will change in the coming weeks and hopefully help things along.
The end is in sight.
