    I know this is a long shot but you never know. Looking for a set of grills or even just the frames for Tangent 5000's. Or maybe plans to make frames would also work if necessary. Anyone?

    Here is one from a forte II same deal as above, new parts using stock schematic and values.

    Would like to learn some of the basics in reading the data of a impedance plot like this one to consider improving on a xover. This one is from a T5000 with updated parts still using the stock schematic values.

    Thanks gents, WMcD - embarrassed that I had not thought of that The Snipping Tool is perfect. Thanks everyone again.

    Want to be able capture the screen image(s) on the DATS program being used to plot the impedance curves of a few Klipsch speakers so they could be posted here for review. The format DATS saves them to is not recognized by any of the current software on my Win7 PC , any help on this?

    Got to finish up one speaker. Geoff, the motor board was like you found on yours. It looked like the brace blocks were doing the bulk of the work holding it in place. The seams were extremely narrow - say the thickness of a piece of paper but they were there none the less. Gorilla white glue was used, it is very runny so the cabinet was tilted letting gravity do the work. It did take longer this way but it is what was on hand. Tried hot glue but just could not do the job the way I wanted it to be done.

    Thank you Geoff for the kind words

    You will be just fine with that avr-x2300w, most damage to speakers is done by being under powered (clipping) than too much power. Just don't use anything less than 16 gauge wire for hook-ups & for long runs step up the gauge - 14 gauge has always been my minimum. Also avoid "CCW" copper clad wire too. My sig below has a few good sources for wire

    Here are the xovers finished, all hardware was either brass or stainless. Maybe we can have them mounted & wired before the end of this weekend.

    Geoff, I have the same xovers and the one missing screw as you have. Your woofer is a 4 ohm k28k, the replacement driver is also shared with the k23k & k25k of the Forte I/II family. I will put a light in the cabinets to look for "leaks" - hadn't thought of that . In stock form they sound very good and as you mentioned they are very similar to the Forte II's - a great speaker for less than Forte's if you can find them and do not mind the size. Looking forward to putting the upgraded xovers in and see how they sound, most of the original components were off spec by well over 10%
  11. Alexander
    thank you for the links
  12. Alexander
    Any one(s) that you might point me to that is better and/or easier than others?
  13. Alexander
    I agree, the T-5000's are a sleeper value wise - they have the same drivers as the Forte I but in a bigger box. May try building a set of Forte I xo's to see how they sound. Curious if you have gone into your enclosures yet? Compared to the inside of my Forte II's they look to share all the same reinforcements & wood thickness.
  14. Alexander
    I should add that the plan is to hang these xo's on the outside back of the enclosures so changes could be done easier hence the binding posts.
  15. Alexander
    Been busy of late but finally got back on task. Finish building one xo off of the schematic, wanted to have it look real nice but too many goof ups and cruddy soldiering killed that. But none the less it will be functional. Did add a resistor at the tweeter and wired for bi-amp should the desire struck. Will be building the second one and maybe we can have a better looking version.
  16. Alexander
    Fantastic! Been looking for this for a few months. Thank You

    When measuring the lf inductors on my Klipsch OEM x overs I get 2.11mh & 2.17mh. I am curious what some of you would interpret these values to to be - 2.0mh or 2.25mh or? I can not find a valid schematic for these Tangent 5000 x overs so I have to "guess a mate" what their original intended values. As been posted else were we have a 68uf, 1.25uf for mid and 1.5uf x 2/.016mh for hf. The autotransformer's have zero markings on them btw.
  18. Alexander
    deang should be able to supply the schematic if he had built yours and no longer building for others, then one would be able to build a new set of x-overs from scratch if needed
  19. Alexander
    T-5000/4000 schematic shows : 2.5mh + 47uf, 1.0uf & 2 x 1.5uf + .16uf 　 Markings & or actual measurements : 2.04 & 2.15mh + (68uf) 72.4/76.8uf , (1.25uf) 1.23/1.28uf, typical HF values Drivers are k75k, k53k, k23k & kd13k (passive radiator) (Tangent 5000 & Forte I use same drivers) no markings of any kind on the autotransformer's other than typical 0, 1 & 2 - will re-use 　 Will be building an all new x over from scratch and my gut tells me to just follow what was actually on the original boards just tighten up specs, curious as some of you might consider anything different.
  20. Alexander
    Finally actually pulled the x-overs out and am finding there are 68uf compared to the 47uf listed along with the 1.25uf in place of 1.0uf list originally in the schematic. These are still OEM BTW. Haven't checked large inductor yet to see if it is also different.
  21. Alexander
    Thanks WMcD for your reply, the reason for my question is that I will be building a new OEM/Crites style x over for my t-5000's but if I were to want to try and sell them at some point down the road there would be virtually no market. On the other hand if I were to build Forte I x overs I would have a better chance of turning them. Hench the comparison of the two x overs as to how similar they are to each other.

    Looking at both the Forte I and T-5000's I see that they both share both the K-75 & K-53 drivers. Also the Forte I k-23 and T-5000 k-28 share the same replacement driver. So this brings me to the point that the two speakers other than the difference in cabinet volume they are essentially the same. So here is the question, the two schematics are the same other than the Forte I a 40 ohm resister and 3mh inductor and the T-5000 has no resistor and a 2.5mh inductor. I understand the resistor but what is the actual difference created with the two different inductor values?
  23. Alexander
    Someone asked what gauge wire was used, the input wires from the terminal cup posts is 14ga and all the stock 18ga driver wires was upped to 16ga
  24. Alexander
    Not a stupid question, that is how we all learn. You will need to measure any component out of circuit.
  25. Alexander
    Are you measuring the caps in circuit?
