i'm going to be using the altec 902-8t's with this, al still a no-no?

if i use jc's schematic and use my leftover caps that i'll be removing to get my 40uf to around 50, about how badly will my crossover point be off if i stick with with the .30mh inductor? a higher crossover point wouldn't be bad if that's the case...

ah thought i read it was 2nd order somewhere. excuse my ignorance

thanks for the help

ah, a 6db slope (first order) doesn't sound too attractive to me. i suppose i'll just leave things three way and eventually sell off the diy alks for whatever i paid in parts and just build some es networks

so with keeping it second order and not purchasing new parts, the schematic should look as follows correct?

i'll get on that now. thanks jc!

bump i'd kind of like to start working on these soon

A or B?

so, back to my original question (before the distortion and phase change issues).. what exactly do i need to change (disconnect) in my ALK x-over's to have these running two-way?

success!! you're the man! i had a feeling it would work once i realized turning the diaphragm around in the "gap" was a lot smoother. it sounded/felt a bit rocky before. thanks a lot

the gap is that space bordering the phase plug that the diaphragm "falls" into? i apologize but i'm not too famillar with this stuff []

unless i'm missing something, i can't take this thing apart any further. i disconnected the wires, removed the top plate, i see the aluminum diaphragm and it's plastic holder thing. i took the diaphram along with its platic frame out and now i'm down to an orange hump in the middle of the magnet.

i'm going to rescrew everything back together and connect it to the other speaker to see if i somehow loosened a crossover wire in the process of installing this

everything looks fine, i'm not sure what the problem is

nevermind.. rubber was holding it down

i'm not sure how to take this sucker apart. i only see three screws, but it doesnt seem to come loose after taking those off

sigh... i'm getting some serious distortion in one of them. sounds like when you turn those really old televisions or radios up too high. does this sound like a diaphragm problem?

whoops.. seems i had one wired out of phase edit: still sounded better than the k-55 that way

can't say i was as blown away as i thought i'd be, but it is definitely an improvement. i haven't critically listened to anything much yet... posting this after about a minute or two of listening to phil collins. anyone mind telling me what i need to do to make my universal alks two way? thanks

i just went from 10 year old 14 guage to brand new 12 guage last night. with all that effort getting it to stay in the terminals, you'd think it'd be nice enough to atleast sound different []

i'm pretty sure it's so crap doesn't get in there. i remember reading about taking them off. they said it didn't make much if any of a difference

looks sort of like a k-horn without the top end
