Changing caps in a Crites A4500 crossover? Anyone?

Jwg... I want to know about the cab you built, with a coaxial mounting. How's it sound? Very nice build, btw.

So to lower the midrange on Crites A/4500, you can change the tap to what exactly? And the cap goes from what I to what? Or resistor where? Sorry Ive read different things about this. Id like to lower the midrange a little, and want to make sure I order the right parts. Is there more than one adjustment available? Wish I could see a picture of the modification.

Here:   Easiest way is to change the 13uF to 6.8uF, and move the coil wire from Tap 4 to Tap 3.

Easy enough! I usually use Jantzen Crosscaps or Dayton polypropylene. Thanks

I thought I'd mention that the Crites' 4500 sounds good even on an AK3 network which has the woofer low pass untouched and the original cap/inductor values for the high pass of the squawker, the .5mh inductor in series with the squawker and then the 4uf cap on the CT120. I am still taking the + for the tweeter off the cap for the squawker. And I'm still using the motor start oil caps for the squawker and tweet. This sounds pretty darn good.
