CRB Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Hope to get some help to finish hooking up these crossovers. I am not sure where to hook up the terminal cup wires. There is two places. One says LF and other days RF. Does it matter which ? This is just the standard type B Cornscala. Any explanation or help would be appreciated. I did not want to bother the Crites Family now. Due to Bob's passing. Thank you in advance. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff. Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Hey, welcome to the forum There should be a pair of terminals labelled INPUT Maybe post a picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff. Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Terminal cup wires to LF INPUT You will need jumpers to HF INPUT if they are not already there. Bob has engineered the ability to bi-amp with his crossovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff. Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Ya, you will need to jumper the HF INPUT and LF INPUT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff. Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 You know how some speakers have two pairs of terminals with the removable shiny gold metal jumper strips from red to red and black to black? That is what is going on here. Without a wire from each LF INPUT to each HF INPUT you will only get sound from the woofer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From your picture I now see the jumper wires on top side of LF going to the bottom part of HF. This is what I have to do then? Thanks for hanging in there with me so far.

Yup see your new picture, then what l said in my last post. Is right then? Wonder why no jumpers came with crossovers. No biggie I can make some then, if I am on track here. Ya I never done any of the big amp stuff. Edited January 27, 2021 by CRB Wrong word Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff. Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 When you can, please post a picture of your crossovers. But yes, you are right from your last post. If your crossovers have HF AND LF INPUTS they both need the juice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
