dtr20 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I want to have my type aa crossovers recapped. I'm having a weird sound issue from the mid-range on one speaker. I swapped mid-range drivers, and the problem stayed with the crossover. I don't know what value caps u shud but from parts-express. I will probably by Dayton audio caps if available. Also, I want to replace the o-rings in between the commission drive and the horn. Any idea where to pick these up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I shipped some Khorn XO's it was $40 for the pair. That raises the price quite a bit especially for shipping both ways.

I sent a couple of XO's in an irregular sized box from basically the east coast to the west coast, I'm thinking via UPS. Maybe there's a way to get a pick-up tag and get that $14 price. That $40 is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This XO is designed to be used with the Crites CT-120 tweeter. If you need the stock value I think I can find that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Crites has them, they are $! each. But he won't send you just a few. By the time he pays transaction fees and takes the time to stick them in a padded envelope, it can't be worth his time. I ended up buying new caps and 4 yards of the newest cloth available. He stuck the rings inside the tube. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktate Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I got some O-Rings size 1.25'' outside x 1'' inside x 1/8'' thick and put 3 small drops of super glue and glue them to the driver. Then put a small amount of Vaseline for lub. they fit the driver better than stock I think. The stock ones are about .69 in inside dia. and .1.32 outside dia. but the inside edge sticks into the throat of the horn I noticed. Not sure what Bob's are his might fit better . Some here have said you can use garden hose washers but they are .67'' inside dia. stock one are .69''. But to clarify the ones I measured are out of 1980 and 1972 speakers..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtr20 Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 Can someone please verify what caps I need for the stock type aa crossover? Thank you for the replies, I'll get replacement o rings from Bob on my next order. I don't have any plans yet, but I'm never too far from an order for some reason.
