arena Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 I have a pair of Klipsch RP3s and while I'm completely satisfied with how they sound I was wondering if I could get any significant improvements by modifying the internal wiring or replacing certain parts of the crossover (I've seen a few posts about this recently). I'm on a relatively moderate budget and don't have much experience with a soldering iron. Thanks for any suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 You will need about $50 for each speaker to realize an improvement. You need to buy a soldering iron and learn how to solder -- or this is a mute point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arena Posted July 22, 2003 Author Share Posted July 22, 2003 What exactly in the crossover will I be replacing and how will it result in sonic improvement? I'm very pleased with the overall "balance" of the RP3s, is it possible to change crossover components without accidentally shifting the balance or emphasis towards the bass or treble? Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 You will be replacing the two caps in series with the tweeter on the HF PCB. The signature will not shift one way or the other. What you will hear is an absence of grain and hash, especially at higher SPLs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
