Recommended Posts

Im so disappointed. I ordered new capacitors for my AA crossovers and also new diaphragms for my k55v dual phase plug mids. I changed the diaphragms and everything sounded fantastic. then I tackled 1 of the crossovers and did everything I was supposed to , just like on crites web page and when I hooked everything back up , I lost my mids and my tweeter. I'm soooooooo stressed. I don't know what could have gone wrong. please advise if anyone had similar problem  or knows how what I should be looking for? thanks

 

I tried to upload some pics, but it says I can only upload 2mb and it won't let me do it.

Call Bob Crites. He'll walk you through everything. I’ve been there and a few minutes on the phone worked wonders.

This is good advice, but I suggest sending him an email with photos of the crossover prior to calling.  Bob should be able to help.

OK I fixed it. thank you for everyones help. it was a bad solder point. I can't rally hear the difference, but I guess if everyone is saying change the capacitors then I guess I just change them and hope that its for the better :)

 

Now I'm going to change the other crossover to the new capacitors .

Okay, so there's some app on line.  How about using MS Paint to resize.

The program I listed is tiny and easy to use.  It will also resize a batch of pictures instead of having to do it one at a time.  It's just a tool, one of many we should all have in the toolbox.

Ridicule me if you will.  You're only advancing the day when Skynet takes over. Or the men who serve Skynet.
