Hey Pete! Good to see you on this forum. Didn't know you were a member here.
Hey Pete! Good to see you on this forum. Didn't know you were a member here.
Here's an update of my PZ-2.3 build:
Too much of that lately. Really need to retire and enjoy some music ...
Anxious to hear as to where you run the tweeter level. I'm finding full up to
be fine when they are in (almost) the corner.
Has anyone considered attaching the crossover to the back of the speaker in a project box and running the wires into the back to speakers? It would give more cabinet volume. Would there be a reason not to do this other than cosmetics?
I'm calling the schematic for use with an Lpad PZ-2.3 and it is attached, R2 should
be shorted and the Lpad hooked up directly in front of the tweeter. An Lpad is not
exactly like a pot, but that's how I drew it, just wire in and outs as shown.
Hi Joe, We are talking about the LPAD from PE part number 260-248 just to be clear
that Stuart used.
I think it will all be explained if you look at Stuart's post #40 through his pictures.
I will also try to explain, here are the instructions from PE:

And here is a picture from PE, note that the terminal numbers are stamped into the terminals,
1 is the rightmost one and 2 in the center:

This all agrees with Stuart's pictures in post #40, note also how he had to cut the PC board to clear the LPad.
Terminal 1 gets 2 black wires one to he crossover and the other to the negative tweeter terminal. Terminal 2
gets a reused blue wire probably with the slip on terminal for the tweeter that goes to the positive terminal.
Terminal 3, green wire, goes to the circuit board as shown in Stuart's picture:
Do you have a schematic for your build?
Here's a schematic I use for my own reference:

This is the L-pad version. There is also an option that uses a pot (PZ-2.2). It's worth reading through the whole thread. Besides the build options, Pete's included a host of tips on PCB construction and parts list components.
A pot (L-Pad) on the Minimus 7's, that's new. I know I've seen a few different Min7 hacks, I have yet to try one.
How did they turn out? Do you have a schematic for your build? Ill look through this thread to see if I can find it.
