soundbound Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 I want to build these crossovers for some A7 speakers that I'm gathering parts together to build. These crossovers look simple enough to build. Has anyone built these? Where is a good place to buy the coils and caps? Any special brand or type I should use? Thank you for any help! http://members.tripod.com/~ThunderBobWorld/A7xover.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBrennan Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 I built A7-500 crossovers about 30 years ago, wound the coils myself around wooden bobbins, used the info in "How To Build Loudspeaker Enclosures" by Altec honchos Badmaieff and Davis. Nowadays there are many sources for crossover parts----Madisound, Parts Express, Meniscus and others. Many Altec fans are keen on the Dayton brand film caps from Parts Express. Good sound and decent price. They have good iron-core inductors too, iron core works good with Altecs. Or you can spend more and try large gauge air cores. Or wind your own, do you have the Badmaieff-Davis book? A must for all Altechies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
