Trouble mounting PSD2002 driver onto horn

[jeffgagnon]

I'm finally putting together my pa speakers and right now I'm having a hard time mounting the Eminence PSD2002 with bolts to their 15" pa horn. I couldn't even get a second bolt to thread on the 3-bolt layout, so I switched to the 2-bolt layout and got them in, but even when tightened there is a little gap between most of the driver and the horn. I'm thinking just use sticky putty to seal the gap? I'm not real familiar with compression drivers, so any help would be great! Thanks guys.

Use speaker gasket tape, search for it on the PE site.

How long are the bolts? If the holes are blind(don't go all the way through) then the bolts may bottom before they pull the 2 pieces together so you'll have to get shorter bolts or cut the ones you have off. Also check that the bolts are the right thread for the holes, they should spin in fairly easy and if they don't they're probably not the right ones.
