If it wasn't in the circuit the system would sound like it has even less bass than it does already. Crossover capacitors (or "caps" as you prefer) let highs pass and filter out the lows. How to make them sound better? The answer to this question depends on your experience and what you can realistically expect to gain give the limitations of the transducers used and the design of the horns themselves. Bottom line is you can't make chicken salad out of chicken sh*t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 ROTFLMAO, John! What can/should be done to the crossover depends on what you have and it's condition. In most cases, the crossover is one of the last things to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 I wouldn't know. Shouting in full caps is not going to do much. Plus demanding a cost figure. Comparing them to poultry excrement is not going to do much either. Can we start again. Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Cornell Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 I replaced the oil caps, on my AA crossovers, and the woofer inductor, with a Solen air 2.5Mhy, and honestly i caint say it sounds better LOL! So i just left them, as type AA, this way instead of ALK, but now that my k-horns are stored, down the road i think ill finish the ALKs! Maybe its because these are k-horns who knows! Rick Tate built ALKs for his La Scalas, i never did get a (sound better) response? Regards Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Okay, maybe I over reacted a bit. Just little, little, teensie bit. I will move the speakers, stand in the corner, and listen to peaceful music. Maybe if the drivers are where my ears should be and ears are where the drivers should be, there is reciprocity. BTW are you telling me something about FAA investigations? I was only at one, many years ago. Grumble. Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
