tfoust Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Bought a set of capacitors from Bob Crites to install in a pair of Heresy IIs. Understand I am new at updating and repairing audio equipment. When I removed the crossover network the old caps look nothing like the ones I'm about to put it. I'm not confident that I can do this now that I have seen the inside. Is there a series of pictures somewhere that will make this project more clear?

moray james Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Don`t worry the new caps look different but they are still caps with two connections each just like the old ones. Do yourself a favor and chill enough to give Bob a phone call he will set you straight. You can do the job just relax and you will be fine. Call Bob now. Best regards Moray James. PS: good for you to take the plunge and welcome to the forum and your first test by fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfoust Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 I went back and looked again. What put me off was my package of new caps had enough for two speakers. I didn't remember that. I thought all the ones in the package were meant to go into the old board. My bad. I clipped out the old caps because I couldn't remove enough of the solder to free the leads while they were still intact. It was easier to remove the stubs from the heated solder. After that - unless I missed something the replacement went smooth and the speakers sound as good as I remember they did before. Whatever difference is subtle. I didn't have the advantage of hearing them in the same enviornment as I last heard them before the upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Cool! I usually removed the old crossovers off the cups, and put them back together on a small board like the H-I's... Then again my solderig skills sometimes resulted in what looked like silver baseballs... [H] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
