[Modding Synergy's for upgrade]

Yes I know, just that it's not the moment, in the last 2 years here in Argentine the dólar raise almost 100% so I'll wait for my next real upgrade

For the first option, the addition of an extra woffers/speakers that I already have, should be cheap and no so complicated, not sure if I'll need to do something extra with the crossover or buy a new one.

For point 2 I'm less confident of doing it.

so,
I have hemmed and hawed over this because I was really interested in the bigger prv 280 driver, but these speakers are just not the medium for it. I couldn't lower the horn because it's part of the plastic faceplate touching the first driver below it. I couldn't get rid of the faceplate with a new horn because of the plastic top piece glued to the cabinet, and I couldn't get rid of that plastic top piece because the speaker grill would extend above and look funny. I would have had to notch the inside of the MDF up top a little and I didn't want to deal with it.

I ordered the asd1001's to do my fronts and matching center channel. Picked up some dayton resistors in case I decided I wanted to use them. Now to see how well it all blends when it arrives.
I have a lot more foam in mine than you started with so I probably won't mess with that at all to start.

I also ordered a umik-1 from cross spectrum labs to see what changes.
 

Hi, thanks all for a rich and interesting thread!

I have Synergy C2, pairing with Synergy F1 Tower and 2 woffers/speakers spare parts idem to the original in F1 tower, so considering 2 mods and would ask a couple of questions.

 

1- Makes sense add the extra woofer to the F1 tower in order to obtain something like an F2?

Can I use the same crossover? and how should I connect the new speakers, parallel (obtaining an impedance of 4 ohms) or serial (obtaining a impedance of 16 ohms). Considering the rest of the speakers will remain original

 

2-Any advise in the selection of using the asd1001 or PRV 230 to replace the tweeter in the C2 central channel and probably on the F1 Towers?

If I change the central should I change the others in order to match?

 

Everything connected to a Marantz NR1607 with the rest of surround speakers from the F1 set.

 

Thanks!
