sootshe Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Some pics of my new crossover build for a set of Belles I'll be putting together. These are AP12 - 500 & AP15 - 6000 design with upgraded components. As you can see I've used all Sonicaps in the bass section & Jantzen Superior Z's in the top section. Have just alligator clipped the swamping resistor in place until I get the final settings. Will hopefully trialling these on a friends LS soon. Inductors are custom hand wound 3mm (8 gauge) for the bass & Solen Litz for the top. The bass inductors weigh about 5kg each so these are quite a handful & I'm hoping that this will give a noticeable improvement to the bottom end of the Belles. I'll be porting the cabs up into the mid horn cabinet & using the foam layer mod in the doghouse. Hope to start cutting wood early next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richieb Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I said nearly the same thing to an ex-girlfriend I hadn't seen in a long time. She wasn't amused but never really had a good sense of humor - 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Dean, Mike Lenehan from Lenehan Audio on the Gold Coast in Queensland made them for me.....nice job. I was originally going to go for North Creek, but they are no longer available. Mike winds these by hand - 3mm copper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
