SonicSeeker Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Which crossover is this? I just removed the back of the speakers I picked up yesterday, looks brand new back there, 1980. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blvdre Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Not an AA. Maybe the infamous AL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Not an AL. I think it is something custom, or and AL-2/3, most likely custom. I can't see enough of the bits in the back. If Klipsch, it would have an aluminum label strip below the barrier strips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Whatever it is, get it outta there and replace with an A or AA, depending on how loud you want to listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicSeeker Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 These speakers are closed in the back so maybe industrial type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincymat Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Are there handles on the sides? Looks like someone has done a few customizations. Nor a bad thing but it does make it harder to figure out what you have. Take a photo of the crossover from the top looking down. Folks here will be able to figure it out from that view.

Deang Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I'm pretty sure it's an AL-3 Split. I see just about everything that I see on the schematic. So, I think whoever originally owned these, contacted Klipsch and bought an upgrade kit. For that specific year, it should have the K-55-V instead of the K-55-M. I can see the two high pass coils, the 5mH ferrite core bobbin in the back left hand corner, the 4mH for the low pass on the right, the tweeter protection (resistor/polyswitch), the electrolytic in the back that's undoubtedly the low pass cap (probably a 140uF), and two of the three 2uF little black box motor runs -- I'm sure the third is lurking back there somewhere. Finally, if you look at the note on the bottom of the schematic, it says, "2 POINT BARRIER STRIP", and "X RED WIRES ARE CUT FOR BI-AMP PURPOSES" -- and those are there too.

Also, if you unscrew the crossover board and lift it up, you should be able to read the label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff. Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Is that a resin horn for the mid as well? I don’t think they were stock in the 1980 LS. Your winning streak continues! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
