Tell them there are at least 6 more modified Chorus II crossovers waiting for him to build when he is done measuring, designing, and building yours. From what I've seen on his video's he builds one set then puts together a "kit" based on that for others to buy and build themselves as he only has time to design not manufacture.

dtr20 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I am running the original A55G midrange in my chorus II speakers. Bob Crites told me the stock crossover was fine for the driver. I bought an adapter to mount the A55G to the stock horn, but I am now using the midrange horns from the forte III and these A55G drivers thread right in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I right in thinking that the 55v is the same as the 55g? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 a K55V with a new diaphragm is very close to the A55-G - -take a Brand new Atlas PD5VH and compare it to the A55-G , you might be very surprised 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madman1 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Just wanted to chime back in to say I installed the k55v soldered lug and “301?” Horn in my chorus ii a while back. Did an a/b first and wasn’t sure I was going to like it. The midrange was definitely less in your face and I thought a bit too laid back, but once I installed both and listened for a while I was really happy with the results. It is a little more laid back, but seems to blend really nice and I don’t notice anything shouting or shrillness ad nothing stands out or draws your attention. I actually ended up toeing them in a little more and they sound wonderful. I haven’t run rew so all I’m describing is my personal experience. Would love to update the diaphragms in the k55v or try the a55g but right now I’m happy with the results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that is one of the reasons I originally tried that driver to reduce mid level output should be around -2db from stock which actually gives them the same woofer to mid balance as the forte. As much as I love the stock Chorus II they can tend to get shouty in certain situations and sound a little thin at lower volumes, again in certain situations lots of variables involved but overall I myself find the 55v / A55 to be a big improvement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I don't talk to Al anymore, I shouldn't have speculated. A third source has independently tested and confirmed, but I'm not talking about that here.

So he would become rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Started out as “50 Cent”, after the rapper. It was tongue in cheek from Roy because I’m only right half the time, lol. A nickel raise somewhere else (not the bad cap thread), and now a penny. Increases can only come from Roy (sorry Travis). If half of everything only “makes a dime’s worth a difference”, that could add up to quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
