Deang Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Have you called or emailed Al? If not, why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizman Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Deang: I just didn't want to bother Al with this in a personal email. I will contact him though, as it seems that many of you feel that he would be okay with it. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizman Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Deang: I can't seem to get his email link to work on my computer. I'll try calling him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1101 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 If you want the ESNs to work as designed then you will need to use a K33 woofer or a clone that has the same or very close parameters. I think this is pretty important. But AL will let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff. Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 If I have been reading previous posts correctly, I think Al designs his circuits to take into account the load the woofer introduces into the circuit...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizman Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Geoff: I believe that is the case as well. In the case of the crossover circuit in this thread, Al indicates on the schematic that the crossover is designed to take into account the 1 mH inductance of the K-33 voicecoil. The 15C has a .88 mH inductance. That said, the spec sheet for Klipsch woofers I found in these forums lists the inductance of all Klipsch woofers as 1 mH, which seems suspect. Also, the 15C is touted as an improvement over the K-33 by many in these forums, in different Klipsch speakers, without modification to the crossovers. This is also true for the K43. I’ll ask Al shortly.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizman Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I called Al, and he said that the crossover should work fine for my application. The swamper resistor will allow both 8 and 16 Ohm compression drivers to be used. Al also gave me some advice on component selection and layout of the crossover. He was very helpful, despite not knowing me from Adam and having nothing to gain from it. Thanks Al! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Al! not surprised.. ALK is a good guy, very smart and I have found him to be very helpful... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
