plissken99 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Dean told me the parts I need and what replaces what. I ordered the parts and finally got them all, but lost the email where Dean told me what replaces what. And now he's not responding, so can anyone help out?

CECAA850 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 On the floorstanders, I think each part replaced is the same as the original except it is of higher quality. Just swap out parts with like parts. If I recall correctly, he adds an additional resistor in parallel to an existing resistor on the HF board. I don't remember what he does on the center channel other than replace like parts with higher quality ones. There's the extra resistor there too but the center channel is laid out differently than the mains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Maybe this will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest davidness Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 From DeanG in a previous thread: 2 of each: 5uF Kimber, 12uF Kimber, and 18uF Jantzen CrossCap, 1 ohm Mills, 2 ohm Mills, 10 ohms Mills. Parallel the 10 and 2 and place in the 2 ohm position on the HF board (next to to 18uF cap). All parts available through www.partsexpress.com There are several threads on this, like here, and here. Here are some great pics and discussion of my updated RF-7 crossovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plissken99 Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 I won't be doing the mod personally, I have a friend who works on amps and speakers all the time, even builds guitar amps from scratch who will do it free. Those pics look good, but will it be obvious to him as to what to do? Here are the parts I have, per Deans instructions 3 Dayton Audio 12UF 250v capacitor 3 Mills 10 OHM 12w non conductive resistor 3 Mills 1 OHM 12w non conductive resistor 3 Mills 2 OHM 12w non conductive resistor 3 Kimber KAP 4.7UF 200v capacitor 3 Jantzen 18UF 400v crosscap capacitor It would be great to get a specific list of what replaces what. Which is what I had from Dean, if only he would return my emails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 As I stated, each new part will replace an older part of lesser quality (other than the added resistor). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
