Not sure what you are looking for here, the crossover transplant is straight forward. Remove the screws from the back pannel remove the back pannel, disconnect crossover wiring, be mindful of polarities + is marked by the red stripe. Install new crossovers and reassemble.While you are in there it is a good idea to snug all of the screws on the drivers. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest David H Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 The screws that hold the drivers in loosen up over time, it is a good idea to tighten all of them up while the speakers are apart. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HudsonValleyNoah Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 If your mid drivers are K-55 (V,X or M) then you have the right B crossover. There was a rare K-56 (I think it was K56...) that was used with the B2 crossover in the first incarnation of the Cornwall 1.5. If I had a K-56 I would replace it with a K-55 and stick with the correct B crossover. Lastly, there was the full Cornwall 1.5 with the K-52K mid (or K-57) that went with the B3 Crossover. I own a pair of full Corn 1.5's like that and LOVE the sound of them but The B3 ONLY goes with the K52K or K57. Noah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
