Marvel Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 That was long enough, right? I've added onto leads that were too short before. Or clipped off the old part and left the leads there so I wouldn't have to unsolder off of the board. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babadono Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 The leads were not long enough to bend 90 degrees and extend out past the radius of the part itself? That's poor QC at its finest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlthess40 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Is this the kg4 crossover? Does anyone have a parts list for one? I’d like to do my kg4 boards but need a detailed list of the parts needed. Thanks.

Then a polyswitch rated at 7 amp but I used a 6.5 amp Parts Express didn't have a 7 and there's enough tolerance to use a 6.5. Chances are your inductors are fine.

It wouldn't go down any more because the inductors were too close together. The lead I had problems with is the one unseen at the top of the pick. The lead at the bottom was had plenty of length.

That's poor QC at its finest. They do extend that far, plus some. But I had to bend them back under to reach the hole in the board AND that Audyn wouldn't fit flat on the board between the inductors.

I’ll look in my parts container and see if I have any of theseWould you know where I could find a schematic on it so I can maybe make a board Instead of mounting all of these on the input cupDollar for dollar Klipsch has no equals Name one other speaker company that can build a speaker and keep working like new after 45 plus years of service.
