jerohm Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I have a couple of K-76-Ks (and another one that needs a new diaphragm) and crossovers from Quartets (just the crossovers, without the terminal cup, posts, or speaker connection wires) if there would be any interest in working out some kind of deal. In kind, all I am only looking for is the Forte II crossover (with the T7A autoformers, but no need for the terminal cup, posts, or speaker connection wires. If you just have a set of T7As (for sale), I might be interested in these if no one can provide the entire crossover.ThanksJimjerohm@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEC Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I can provide you with the 3636 autotransformers. They will replace the T7A or any other Klispsch autotransformer. Bob Crites bobcrites@centurytel.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerohm Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 Thanks. I am going to try for the whole crossover first. If that doesn't work out, I will get back to you. I DO have a question though. The marking on the Quartet autoformer is T11A. The schematic that is floating around states a T2A. Do you know if these two are the same or what is going on?? Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEC Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 What is important is the value of attenuation needed. For the Forte II you need -10 db according to the schematic I have. The T2A can give 3, 6, 9 or 12 db. The 3636 can give any value of attenuation between 1 and 12 db in 1 db increments. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tofu Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 thanks bob. check will be sent out tomorrow. now to find some of that elusive grounding braid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEC Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Don't know what braid you are looking for, but check these folks. http://www.thewireman.com/wire.html Bob Crites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tofu Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 it's the wire depicted in al's universal networks. i think it's #604 on that site you sent. thanks. shipping will probably be 3x the cost of the braid itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tofu Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 this is what i'm talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 That's desoldering braid. It's copper, but it's coated with rosin -- yuck. Just use wire. Get some nice buss wire from mouser. 18AWG is good enough for short runs across the board. Mouser part# 602-296-100. You gotta watch them audiophiles, they use all kinds of strange stuff in their networks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEC Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Dean, Surely you don't pay $25.00 for 100 ft. of 18 awg buss wire from Mouser. That would be $3.00 from The Wireman. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Well dag gone it, yeah, I have been. Thanks for the heads up, I'll go check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEC Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Of course I go for the quality and spring for the 16 AWG at $6.00 per hundred feet. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tofu Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 what's the difference between buss wire and the 12 guage stranded hookup wire i'll be using to wire up everything else? (radio shack doesn't have 14 guage) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEC Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Buss wire is solid copper wire that is pre-tinned and not insulated. Good for short runs where insulation is not needed or in some places like jumpers from one terminal on a strip to another, impractical to use insulated wire. 12 AWG is just too big for use in crossovers. 16 AWG is plenty big enough and much easier to use.

tofu Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 well they don't seem to carry 16 either, but i gather 18 will work fine as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Who is "they"? Bob's Wireman source is almost too good to be true -- I know where I'm going for this stuff from now on (thanks Bob!). 18 AWG is fine. We're talking inches here.

BEC Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Dean, Wireman is a bunch of ham radio guys. They are into seriously good prices on stuff. Don't tell them you are an audiophile or they might jack up the price. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tofu Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 o noes, i ordered the wrong size fuses from mouser. i hope radioshack carries the ones i need. so much for those female plugs being "quick disconnect." i need pliers to get them off the tabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
