Just did the Sierra-2 to Sierra-2EX upgrade this morning and I noticed the crossover assembly has a new layout. When re-inserting the damping material in the woofer cavity, it is near impossible to prevent some of the material brushing up against some of the crossover components, such as a couple of copper coils. I assume the material is non-conductive, but does the crossover generate enough heat to be of concern with the damping material?
Loafer,
Great question, but IMHO believe we are all in the clear! Not only is the damping material non-conductive and fire resistant, but the coils (LP) and caps (HP) are frequency dividers, not resistors that absorb power and convert it to heat!
