Those are cool. Those amps are nice too.

They are identical with the exception of the resistors in the low pass, where the AK-4 has two 6 ohm resistors in parallel and the AK-5 has one.

That’s because there is a 100 ohm resistor in parallel with the polyswitch. When the polyswitch tripped, the signal was rerouted through the resistor. That you can hear sound through it means you didn’t blow a diaphragm. It’s the correct part. You’ll be fine. I would use clips for heat sinks when you solder the polyswitch in.

WHERE ARE YOU I CAN’T SEE YOU THROUGH THE FLAMES.

Yeah, I get it. I was just responding to Randy’s post. Sorry, didn’t mean to hi-jack the thread.

Not sure what are you talking about. You can’t use the Ti diaphragms or use the Ti drivers without modifying the network. The parts go in between the autoformer and driver. Klipsch doesn’t sell the filter section separately. Since it a non Klipsch mod, the Klipsch alternative is the Heresy III upgrade kit - which is really the correct way to do it.

@OO1 How does that alleviate having to add a bandpass filter?

@JRH

Those are nice.

Never thought I’d see the day where you would admit to being an amateur. Also, no one wants to hear you sing, lol.

@JEM Performance Jim from JEM Performance can repair your tweeter. You can also order the part from Klipsch and do it yourself if you feel brave.

What tweeter and midrange did he use?

That will work fine. They really only need to be within a foot of the corners.

Nope.

@TonyTrex57 Hi Tony, what kind of help are looking for?

@ronajon The first picture is a 2uF measured using 1kHz. The second picture is the same can measured at 100kHz. This particular can is also sweating, with a light film on the outside that you can feel and smell. A new 2uF Tecate measures .42 - .45 It’s just my opinion, but I think this part is nearing the end of its life cycle. Some are fine for use while others are not. While you don’t have to replace them, the network will be back in spec, and the speakers will sound better if you do. I don’t sell capacitor kits. Please contact JEM if this is something that interests you.

@ronajon I use 1kHz for the smaller values and 120Hz anything above 4uF. The spec sheet for the capacitors Klipsch uses states 1kHz for their DF spec.

Using the chart, one can see why measuring at 100kHz doesn’t make much sense for capacitors used in loudspeaker networks.

Another meter that uses 100kHz. This is from the manual that came with my B&K 880. Also a chart. Notice how the ESR decreases with frequency - regardless of the dielectric material.

That capacitor is probably bad. If you measured using 120Hz or 1KHz, that reading would be 3-5 times higher.

They look better than ‘7’. Any chips, scratches, or water stains? Thanks, Dean

Lol. I’m glad you aren’t building networks for a living.
