some musicians react to speaker cab issues differently from others:

Just remember not to pull a Pete Townsend on it

Looking at the crossover, besides the wiring debacles, it appears that there are two big inductors that are right next to one another, and lined up for maximal coupling, If those are indeed 2 separate inductors, you don't do that - you orient things for minimal coupling - look at pictures of crossovers, the coils are at right angles to each other. That may not be the source of the trouble you're describing, but it is something to ponder.

I left out the assault on the expensive broadcast camera which could have resulted in arrest or lawsuits but Ian Paice was somewhat burned, Ritchie set himself on fire there and several crew members were also burned.
I believe that a person or two was hurt below stage by falling large cabinets and pieces of guitars and that the band was actively fleeing the country afterwards to avoid arrest and fines.
Jerky behavior there.

I read an interview from later on and he mentioned some of those things but left out the worst parts. They dumped gas over his dummy Marshalls.

If it were dropped in my lap, I'd probably verify that the drivers work, and then hook them up in a conventional fashion with a mainstream 2-way crossover, and see what happens. It might be a departure from the original design intent, but there might also be no turning back at this point.

I decided to get off talkbass for a couple weeks to concentrate on other things in life (such as actually playing) but this thread has me so happy to be back! I think my next move is buying all 4 Mesa heads tomorrow, picking one, and returning the others. Glad to be back!!

Good luck choosing just one! :D
