Crossman Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Before anyone starts hurling invectives my way, I just want to clarify that I am only intellectually (I use that word loosely) curious. My curiosity is: Why are the commercial crossovers (eg the Eminence brand sold by Parts Express at around $50.00) so cheap? Are they sold so cheap because they are cheap? Do they actually work as advertised? I currently have Alk crossovers. Before buying Al's kit I took his parts list and located every part and the price. The result - for a few dollars more I could just get the kit from Al and save myself a lot of headache. I don't know how you do it Al but thanks.

Looks like we have this in common, I looked high and low for better pricing, and the only way I cold better his prices was to use inferior parts, and order from multiple suppliers, just not worth it. Cheap crossover - Fine for some applications, but you get what you pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Klappenberger Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 The answer to getting the crossover parts at a low price is simple. You buy them in quantity! I'm about to order 26 24 uF Sonicaps from GR Research for the Universal network I build as finished units. The price is $588.02 including shipping. That's $22.12 each. They will cost you $31.60 each if you only bought 4! So all you need to do to get the parts cheap is to build 10 sets instad of one! AL k.
