klipsch1 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 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. Mark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P. Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Copy your photo, then resize the copy in whatever photo program you use. Attach THE COPY to your post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avguytx Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I agree with the above. If you could post photos of overhead shots of the crossovers, and other angles, we can definitely help you. The AA is a simple put together network to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klipsch1 Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 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 . 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WMcD Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Okay, so there's some app on line. How about using MS Paint to resize. WMcD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WMcD 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. If all you have is a hammer then all your problems will look like nails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Paint works fine for me if I'm posting from a PC and I use a Photo Resizer app on my Galaxy S7 if posting from it...which I do more times than desktop. Too much of a pain to move photos from phone to PC, resize them, and post them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
