    Not married to...just Dayton

    I'm a casual stereo enthusiast back from the dead, like a 33-year layoff. Who would've thought. Anyway, my hobby/skill involvement is limited to re-foams and replacing caps in simple, low/mid-level speakers. Nothing high-end. Seems Dayton Audio is a good choice for recapping simple...

    Renaissance 80/90 help

    The EMIM on one of my Renaissance 90’s has started to not work intermittently. I’ve checked the driver and it’s fine so I’m trying to get the crossover out so I can diagnose the problem and perhaps rebuild the whole thing if needed. Problem is I can’t get the base out of the speaker. I’ve taken...

    Klipsch Forte IV crossover values - Chart

    I opened up the Forte iv's and made a few images as well as a hand-drawn sketch for both the capacitor values and the resistor values. I could not really find this info anywhere and I was eager to know since folks seem to like to upgrade the heritage crossovers. That said, I will probably not...

    KEF C75 Crossover fixing: how to identify inductor values from color bands?

    TL;DR I can't figure out the value in milli Henry of the 5 inductors of the crossover. Could someone help me? From what I understand inductors can be color coded from 3 to 5 bands. But for example the E on my crossover has only 2 bands... I found this website with the color code input...

    Marantz Crossover Question

    Folks, I have been reading a lot (and posting nothing) thus far in this wonderful community. I have a question now that I'd love to hear though what people here think. I have obtained 5-6 years ago a pair of Marantz HD-88 speakers *https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/marantz/hd-88.shtm) ...

    Yet another Wharfedale W70 crossover thread--HELP!

    Beginning restoration of a pair of W70's dated 1966 with ceramic drivers, and non-ported cabinets. Crossovers just have a switch on the back for Full and Soft. Has inductors for both the Woofer and midrange, and the caps for the tweeters are labeled 4 MFD 50 volts, and 24 MFD 50 volts. I have...

    Emerald Physics 4.7 makeover

    Here, sharing my positive experience modifying Emerald Physics EP4.7 speakers! Compression drivers: removed bug screens (not needed because of dust caps). Measurable improvement in 10-20K distortion (2-3 dB less), more 'silky' sound, does not really increase SPL. Dynamat on the back. Woofers...

    Help to identify Rev. # of Advent OLA crossover

    Can’t seem to figure out what crossovers I have here for a set of OLA’s. I know there are pre 1970 since they are on a metal plate instead of Masonite. Not sure if the caps are original either. Can anyone identify? Thanks!

    Bose 501 Series V Crossover Point?...Wanting to upgrade from "Twiddlers"

    Greetings all! I know these speakers are nothing special, but I thought that it would be neat to replace the twiddlers with the new GRS 3.5" planar transducers from PE. The way I see it, not only would they provide vastly better clarity, but due to the direct/reflecting design, would eliminate...

    Help deciphering a 2-way outdoor subwoofer crossover network, TIC B50

    I have a passive outdoor subwoofer with the crossover set too high (TIC B50), claims to be around 200 Hz. I think that's too high, but on top of that the rolloff seems very slow. Lots of vocals and guitar coming through. I am good w/ a soldering iron but don't quite understand the design of this...

    How to get the best out of these special Kenwood speakers

    Hi guys - I'm new to the forum. I've got these old (1960s?) speakers that were my grandfather's. They are both sentimentally valuable, and pretty awesome (I think?). I'm keen to get the absolute best out of them. They sound pretty great as they are, but in their 50+ year life, they've never...

    Mission 700 LE Speakers - Rebuild/upgrade

    So my faithful Mission 700 Leading Edge speakers have a bit of foam rot going on, time to refoam. While I'm in there I thought why not upgrade/refresh the factory crossovers a bit. The crossover is very simple ; a 670uH ferrite core inductor in series with the woofer, and a second order filter...

    Infinity Reference Five’s - DIY upgrades?

    Hey all !!! I recently picked up some Infinity Reference Five’s. They look amazing, and sound pretty good! The foams were redone by the previous owner, but I don’t like the way that the mid’s foam was done so I’m gonna redo them myself. I think the foam wasn’t fully glued on and is leaking air...

    Series - parallel crossover mod

    I am modifying a pair of Carver left and right speakers originally from CS5.2. They were designed with one set of binding post for freq 100hz and below with another set for above 100 ( then this is crossed over internal). I eliminated the dual post and assembled a Solen 1st order low pass /...

    Minimus 7w : 4 ohm replacement speakers / crossovers

    Hi all, I have a nice pair of Minimus 7w’s that weren’t working, and I also happened upon a nice pair of replacement speakers for cheap. The replacements are a perfect fit and look great too. The new woofers are 4 ohm instead of the original 8 ohm, for which the existing crossovers were...

    Speaker Crossover Analysis

    Is there a way to determine if a crossover is bad? That is, if the caps need replacing or something else? Is there a phone app I can use to read output or something? I don’t even know how this would be input or read but I remember in grad school that microphones can be self calibrating...

    Low pass filter

    I am thinking about changing a pair of speakers by eliminating bi-amp and adding a low pass filter looking for thoughts: Have a pair of tower speakers (carver) which were originally designed to have freq input above 100 hz ( 4 ohm)to the first set of binding post and freq 100 and below (4 ohm)...

    Crossover/L-pad help needed!!!

    I picked up a pair of Utah speakers which I believe are probably A-100s but I'm not sure since pics and specs are few and far between online for these. Anyway, it uses a horn tweeter, a small compression driver, and a 12 inch woofer as depicted, in an acoustic suspension cabinet. Crossover...

    Do different vendor crossover caps really sound all that different?

    This weekend I found a single orphaned AR-28S for an astoundingly low price of $8.99 at a local Thrift Store. I almost cried... so I am eager to hear this critter sing... and hopefully, find it a twin sibling at some point New surrounds are on order... As far as the cross-over is concerned...
