Advent /2 Crossover Schematic

[Pioneer Vir]

I've searched everywhere I know to search and have not been able to find a schematic anywhere for the Advent/2 crossover. Or... does anyone by chance have a parts list for the crossover? I read in an older thread here on AK that the capacitor values are 32 and 2 MFD and the resistor value is 3 ohms.

However, I'm looking at the capacitors in pair of /2s that I have and it sure looks to me like the values are 32 and 12 MFD. Crossovers have the original Unicons. Planning on replacing the Unicons with some new Solens (and resistor with a new Mills) but I want to order the correct size up-front.

If no one has a schematic or a parts list for the /2 crossover I'll just go ahead and pull one and go from there.

Any help or information will be appreciated. Thanks!

there may have been a couple variations (i.e. I know of at least 2 different capacitor parts list for the Smaller Advents), your best bet, especially if they look to be original, is to match the values in them.

I have a set of 2's and 2w's as well. There isn't too much info floating around about these speakers that i have found yet. One of my sets uses an odball sized woofer that i cant locate a correct surround for. The other seems to take the stadard 9" advent surround. Rick Cobb confirmed this with me and said i would have to cut and splice a 9" surround for the 2w's.

A bit off topic but i can take a look in my 2w's and give you the values mine have tomorrow once i dig them out.

The other seems to take the standard 9" advent surround...

That doesn't sound right. All the Advent/2's I've seen sport the odd-ass woofer that no one makes a surround for (I'm listening to a pair right now, btw)...got a pic?

Advent /2s

These are the 2/s with odd-size woofer. I checked with Rick for a refoam kit too... The cap values look like 32uF and 12uF (vice the 2uF I saw in an older thread on AK) to me. I just want to try and avoid order the wrong size the first time around if I can help it.

Here are the 2 different pairs i have. The ones with no surround are out of advent 2w's and the other set i just got from a guy with a lot i purchased from him which are labeled advent 2 on the back. Apperently he thought not re sealing the woofers in the cabs was ok as well as using bottle caps for dust caps. The surrounds may be on backwards as well, but they are in good shape. LOL I am going to most likely give the functional set to my dad for his garage anyway. he has a set of crappy magnavox speakers from a mid 80's all in one system.

2w: looks to have the same caps.

Advent 2: has 1 32 mfd and one 12 mfd cap per cabient.

Backs of both: 2w on left 2 on right.
