I recently had Bob Crites rebuild my crossovers on some 1988 Heresy IIs. Before the rebuild, they didn't necessarily sound bad, just a bit dark. After some poking around online, I decided to have the crossovers rebuilt for clarity and longevity. So tonight I finally found some time to install the new crossovers. I was sure to match polarity in the wiring, with the squawker being the only posts that were unmarked. After putting everything back together and firing them up, I found that the sound was VERY distant and muffled, almost as if something was wired incorrectly. I ABed them with a crappy set of old Sony speakers, which ended up sounding as good as they possibly can. I took the Heresies apart again, making sure there wasn't anything obvious wrong, and even reversing the wires on the squawker, but to my amateur eyes everything looked fine. I've been through every iteration to try to determine if the problem is something that I did, but just can't pin it down.
I know Mr. Crites is held in high esteem around here, and don't want to question his craftsmanship, so I'm wondering if anyone has any advice as far as something I could have done incorrectly before I bother him with a phone call. Thanks!
