Ive been searching here for upgrades for my Pioneer CS 99As. Does anyone know any details about this type of upgrade ? Or can point me in the right direction ? Is it even worth doing ? Thanks any input is appreciated.
Well...I just ordered a set of Dayton Precision 1% Metallized Polypropylene Capacitors to re-cap my crossovers. I'm interested in hearing the differences.
While checking out the current capacitor configurations, I noticed the values were created (IMHO) in very round-about ways - not simple parallel sets. This leads me to my questions...
Cost, physical space, and parts availability notwithstanding, what is the difference arriving at a capacitance value through parallel sets vs. serial sets? A 10 uF capacitor in series with another 10 uF capacitor will give you the same capacitance as a 2 uF capacitor paralleled with a 3 uF capacitor. Why would one choose one approach over another?
I just got a pair of these monsters for free :yippy: I am considering doing the crossover re-cap, but I think one of my horns is dead. I sprayed down the L-pads with some de-oxit spray and even changed the horn from one cabinet to the other with the same result. So, does anyone know a source for a compatible tweeter or even how to repair that alnico horn tweeter?
