While working on extracting and cleaning the pots, and reinstalling (gee, soldering is fun in a confined space, isn't it ), I noticed a discrepency in the real speaker vs the schematic available here
I've attached a pic of the schematic here for reference.
On the tweeter circuit, the schematic shows the 5 Ohm 25W pot and the capacitor switch, in the leg attached to the positive terminal of the tweeter (solid blue wire). This leg is shown attached to the negative speaker input.
In reality, at least on the one speaker I'm working on, the pot and cap switch are in the other leg, wired between the the fuse (positve input) and the negative terminal of the tweeters (blue/black wires).
I don't think it makes a lot of difference in the operation...or does it? Sure makes you keep going back and forth checking wires and the schematic over and over again though (I thought I was losing it :screwy: ).
I would be interested to hear from any other Q2 owners who have been into the wiring or are presently into it, whether the same thing was noticed.
Another interesting observation (well, to a Q2 owner anyway) is that the tweeters and the mid-bass coupler are wired out of phase to the rest of the drivers. :scratch2:
