I am getting ready to do a Big City Thunder install and it sounds like all these ideas might need to be written down.

Just back from the maiden voyage with her new baffles and it definitely made a difference. The high tones that I did not care for are gone. She has better response in the mid-range, and the decel popping is better than it was, even though it was not bad before.
So count me as one very happy BCT QQ1845 baffle customer.

Big Radius don't have slip ons.

I used a bearing removal slide hammer
