Alexander Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Getting ready to change out the OEM k55v's with a55g's in a pair of 1975 LS. Would one need to adjust the 3636 autotransform from the stock -3db on the AA xover? And if so to what attenuation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmlowz Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I will be curious to hear you review Alexander, with my 65-year-old ears it was good improvement over my K55V. The Version 2 A55g was a noticeable improvement on some vocals. Especially the Jenefer Warren CD I have it really shines compared to the 1st version of the A55g.

I got a lot more definition in Frank Sinatra's voice, and the horns and drums had more punch. I removed my A55G/2s for the time being, but I plan to use them again with the next crossover, probably the ALK CSW-450. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 Thanks for all the replies I am a little confused based on what I have read in the past on this topic. What I saw seemed to suggest that you would have to make changes in the crossover when going between the K55V and the K55M (or vice versa). So I guess what I am asking is the A55G* more akin to the K55V than the K55M? Just trying to figure it all out so I don't have to open it up more than once if I can avoid it... *1st Gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Slight variations in frequency response aside, all of these drivers have essentially the same sensitivity. I dropped mine in without feeling the need to make any changes. I really wouldn't worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was that a different cap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
