Alexander Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Here is the latest x over for the Forte II's. Basically nothing more than a remake of the factory schematic. The Moser solder posts made things a lot easier than expected, please do not look too closely as my soldering skills show up when I didn't have Tracy, my second set of eyes to help guide me.

BEC Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Here is a little tip about mounting the steel core inductor. If you use a steel screw (one that can be picked up with a magnet) through the core to mount these, you will actually add a bit of core mass and that increases the amount of inductance. I ran into this one time using that style inductor and the increase was enough to effect how the circuit worked. This can be solved by using a brass screw or a stainless steel screw.

Bob Crites Thanks for the tip. Had problems finding brass so I went with stainless steel hardware through out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Richard Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Check SS screws with a magnet, not all stainless is non-magnetic. 18-8, 303, 304 and 316 stainless are non-magnetic, some of the 400 series stainless are magnetic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 Someone asked what gauge wire was used, the input wires from the terminal cup posts is 14ga and all the stock 18ga driver wires was upped to 16ga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
