Mike16w Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 I have a pair of Chorus II speakers that I would like to upgrade the cross over in. The inductors listed are 3.5, 1.75mH and a 160uf. The only place I have been able to find these values in with North Creek Music. I understand the Alpha Core inductors are suppose to be the best but they do not come in these values. Should I go with the North Creek inductors or special order them from Alpha Core? Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 The most well thought of inductora are Solen Perfect Lay. Buy the largest practical guage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Something often overlooked is the DCR. This is the resistance spec of the inductor. It is actually as important as the inductance value in the circuit. Changing out the inductors will change the overall resistance of the circuit. This isn't necessarily a good thing. I say if you can't find an EXACT match of inductance AND DCR for the squawker and/or tweeter -- leave well enough alone. You can change the inductor for the woofer, and if the new inductor has a lower DCR than the original -- you can expect a 2b increase in woofer output. http://www.madisound.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
