tagger Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I've been knocking around in my head the idea of building a pair of speakers for my main listening room. In the past I've owned cornwalls, heresys and Forte II's, but I've been without quality speakers for a number of years now. I currently have a set of Type B crossovers, a pair of Altec 511 horns, 902-8B mid drivers and a pair of k33 woofers. I haven't yet decided whether I'd like to keep it two-way or buy a pair of APT-50's and go three-way. My question is, what modifications to the crossover are needed to accomodate the mid-drivers with higher sensitivity and different impedance (as opposed to the k55) in both a two-way and a three-way setup? Would it be recommended to start from scratch or can I get by starting with the Type B? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Klappenberger Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 The type B will ONLY work with the K55 driver. Al K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tagger Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Can I salvage any components of the Type B for use with a new network? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tagger Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Well, I do have a couple k55's which I believe are still in good condition, but I was rather hoping to use the 902's. With the k55's I'd also no longer have the option of going two-way. What network would you suggest for a two-way, keeping the 902's in there?

Al Klappenberger Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Download and build the design for my AP12-500 or AP12-600 from my web site. That will run 2-way or adapt to 3-way by moving a single strap. http://www.alkeng.com/dload/ap12.zip Al K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
