joeydrapes Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 My Khorns have AA crossovers.. I was told to remove the diodes to improve the highs... Has anyone done this?? Was there any difference in the sound or image?? What do the diodes look like?? How do you remove them?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 replacing the caps would be a higher priority, imo, to restore to factory spec. You'll love the improvement in sound. the zener diodes offer tweeter protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Use a screwdriver and remove the things that look like bolts, replace the caps first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeydrapes Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Where do you buy the new caps and is there any particlar brand that you would recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM38 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 You could look at Bob Crites or ALK engineering. Both websites have a bunch of Klipsch crossover info... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnysal Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 My vote goes to refreshing caps and coils, leave the diode in, it protects the tweeter and IMHO does not affect the sound a whit. regards, Tony p.s. great post dennis! could you send that pic to me via email?

Daddy Dee Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Bob Crites is BEC on this forum. Also you can find his diy cap kits on Ebay very reasonably priced. He can do turn key work if desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 one more , Crites and Klappenger have different approaches. Crites is more oriented to restoration. Klappenberger is more into upgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
