AA Crossover Replacement

Recommended Posts

I  replaced stock AAs with Crites As in a pair of '79 khorns. Sounds great, economical and I protect the tweeter by not playing at hearing-loss levels. I think the ceiling mounted horns looked great.

Thanks ... for me it was a space issue ... this in my temporary studio which is only 14 x 16.  Next year there's a space, 16 x 25, opening up for these to have a "final resting place" - or at least until they pry it from my cold dead hands.   At 70 years old that's about 15 years from now.  Lemme know I'll put cha in the will.

Thanks ... I looked at ALK's site .. didn't look hard but didn't see where he sold individual parts, and I think I'll just do it myself ... did see he's might proud of his work ... but maybe he's fine, and just a grumpy old man like me.   Crites - who's a good guy by all accounts - wants $118 just for a 2-speaker set of AA capacitors

Since you're doing it yourself, Crites' price for Sonicaps are identical to prices on the Sonic Craft website.

Don't hate me:  I'm going with Motor Run Capacitors ... recapping 6 crossovers for $27 in parts, delivered.

Pair K Horns, 1965 (I think, not sure how to date), updated to AA's at some point before me, I've had them 16 years

Pair Heresy (Birch) - I'll guess 80's, original Oil Can Caps - also had quite a while  

Pair Theater Heresy (1/2 plywood cabinets)  - I'll guess 60's, alnico's, original Oil Can Caps - also had quite a while
