Heresy crossover board location

[ecir40]

Is there any particular reason why the boards are mounted to the side of the cabinet? This makes them dificult to remove and work on being the mid is partly in the way. I am thinking about relocating them to the bottom and secure them with some industrial velcro.

I've wondered about that, too. Don't know why, but I have also noticed that it makes access somewhat challenging because of the need to work around the mid horn driver.

One thought, it wouldn't be a problem to move it to the bottom of the cab. I don't recall if the factory wiring is long enough to manage that, though.

I'd suggest to use the wood screws to secure it to the bottom. Velcro would probably be adequate unless shipped, but you could secure the crossover and be done with that from now on by using the screws to attach it to the cab.

I wondered about that also; but did notice that the wires are too short to move it... LOL!! I placed a pair on the cabinet floor with new wires and cannot tell the difference.

Placing the crossover on the bottom, places the woofer magnet very close. I think that this would create a problem??

I went ahead and moved the board with no ill effects, if anything it sounds better. I also installed some risers I had built at the same time and this may have had an effect too.

Sounds like the risers probably helped. Try tilting them "up" in the front to give the same effect as the late H-II and H-III angled risers and see if that also helps.

The riser's I built look just like the H III's but are 3/8" taller in the front and rear. The noticable differance is in the bottom end, almost an effect like a sub wouldn't be needed for the Heresy now which is a good thing. This make sense since just changing the wires shouldn't of had an effect unless it was a resistance thing with the wire being longer and bigger in gauge.
