Nice looking speakers! I think they fit the room more so than the ones they replaced. I also like those outriggers but just can't find it in me to drop that kind of coin on 'em.

If I would have known there was an issue, I'd issue you a return tag to Parts Express no questions asked. Although as I recall, 8 of the woofers were purchased from a 3rd party? Either way I'll take care of my customers if an issue is known. The parts carry full manufacturer's warranty.
You're exactly right, 8 were purchased from a 3rd party, which is why I was going to go through PE. The dust/debris issue would happen free-air along with being mounted, but I only have the problem when it's mounted.

Then change the port tuning to the 3" Precision Ports with a 7.5" length end to end (requires a new port tuning because of the different parameters). If the old RS180s drivers are indeed defective, PE will warranty them. I hope this helps, and if there is anything else I can do just send me an email.

I'll keep you posted on what I find out after contacting PE, however, I want to test all 12 drivers to see if there are any others that need replaced.
