Well have to make a different choice, thanks Deang. you could also get all you need at Parts express.. Dayton 50uF cap, Jantzen .75mH 18awg inductor and the 15ohm Mills resistor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think 18 gauge from PE would be that much of an upgrade but then I don't much experience at this. Looking at mundorf mkp and solen 14 gauge coil, thoughts. Thanks!

DizRotus Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 My thoughts, again, are spend your money on caps, not inductors. IMO, at gunpoint and blindfolded, you would not be able to distinguish one inductor from another. Others may disagree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If got these I would have to do other xover upgrades at a later time. Thoughts, suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are affordable and very well designed. https://www.parts-express.com/jantzen-audio-080mh-18-awg-air-core-inductor-crossover-coil--255-242 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 ... and a pair of these. https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/claritycap-csa-capacitor-250vdc/claritycap-50-mfd-csa-copperconnect-poly-cap-250v/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 You don’t need the higher voltage rating of the SA, and the CSA uses a newer construction method with better lead terminations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the solen or maybe another brand at a lower gauge be better than the PE? Not trying to argue just trying to learn from your experience, I don't mind spending more if the SQ is there. But if the PE will work I will get it, a mills resistor and be done with it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
