Thanks Rob..Ron! Steff's a real sharp guy!..he'll know exactly what should be done to fix my problem! As far as converters go...more than a few people suggested I go to a looser 8" unit,but I don't know....I've had GREAT luck with my 9.5" Dynamic! But...I'm thinking,since everything's still apart,and not installed in the car yet..could be a possibility!..but only if I were to sell my Dynamic first!
