ka7niq Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I ordered a bunch of all motor run metal can oil filled caps for my crossovers. There are no mounting brackets for them, and I was wondering where one might find some ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEC Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 This is what I use. I had the brackets made. Bob Crites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ka7niq Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 Thats Pretty Bob, and very professiional. I got 3 different brands of caps, 2 oval, one round, when I ordered all oval! some are Ronken, some are Aerovox, and some are old GE.The 30 UF are Ronken, 17.5 UF are Aerovox and 2UF are GE I may look into some plastic tie downs maybe ? I will probably see how they sound first. The 6 -30uf ones have a resistor in between the terminals ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it has resistor across the cap, I believe that is a motor start cap, which you don't want to use for audio. When I bought some of the GE motor runs for my center crossover from him, Bob sold me some nice brackets. He may still have some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Yeah, but then he would have to buy something from someone who uses the forum just to make money. Funny how that works -- sometimes we provide a valuable service, sometimes we're here just to make money. I wouldn't sell this guy anything, but Bob is more gracious than I am.

I shall have to call the place in Nebraska and tell them, plus, I got 3 different BRANDS of Caps from them, when the pics they displayed all showed the same kind! I have been busy with income taxes, I will call today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I don't know, you might want to give me a call -- you seem to know all about caps, but can't figure out which are which or how to mount them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 30 UF Caps I bought (6 of them) for the sentry III crossover have resistors across them. I will simply cut the resistors. I am unfamiliar with motor start and run caps. It was said that a resistor across the cap is a start, not a run cap. I called the place I bought from, they said to simply remove the resistor. Unlike a start cap, they are not a UF range type cap, only marked 30 UF. One would think resistor only there for excess voltage maybe ? I will worry about how to permanent mount only if they sound good ? I think I can manage some kind of mount, if only plastic ties. The E/V crossover has tons of room, thank God ! BTW Dean, that was very nice of you in another thread, to offer to fix a problem for a forum poster, for onoly the shipping costs ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Wait till he sees the return shipping bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Klappenberger Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 You guys should realize that no person should offer to help out a forum member with the exact product the member needs if he happens to make some money off of that product. After all, we all need to realize that this forum is a totally Socialist entity and no profits may be made by anybody! The fact that it could actually help somebody is totally irrelevant! [8o|] Al K.

After all, we all need to realize that this forum is a totally Socialist entity and no profits may be made by anybody! The fact that it could actually help somebody is totally irrelevant! Al K. There was a distraught homeless man Al - standing at a busy Tampa intersection. He was flying a sign that said "Homeless - Will Work For ALK Crossover" As the mental health professionals attempted to keep him from running out into traffic, he kept screaming " I need an ALK Crossover" over and over again. One Policeman assured him that his Klipsch Speakers sounded just fine w/o any ALK Crossover. This was not working, and so the authorities even got Roy Delgado of Klipsch on the phone ! It is said Roy even faxed down polar plots to show the mentally ill man there was no need for an ALK Crossover. Finally, the authorities left the confused but harmless Man alone with his delusion.

nathometheatre Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Good Day Dean, I have read all over the net in various forums about your cross-overs, and other upgrades I can make with my Klipsch RF-7's and RC-7. I also have a good friend that has a pair of Infinity Alpha 50's and Infinity Alpha Center Channel. Can you email me your info please? I can either be reached at nathometheatre@verizon.net, or call me cell @ 214-793-4443. Thank you! Kevin Turpin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
