According to the diagram, the woofer and mid are wired normally becuase they only have a 6dB/octave filter and the tweeter and super tweeter are reversed because they have a 12dB/octave filter.
It's pretty cool that you can tell what the slope is by looking at the schematic. Any chance you know what the cross over points are?
Hi, yes the blue goes to the Pos i took one of my drivers out to make sure before i told you.
Wow, that's huge.
I passed as much rep around as I could before I hit the wall.
I found a suggested mod on line where it was suggested that these parts be swapped out:
Qty Part Number Product
2 005-10 Mills 10 Ohm 12W Non-Inductive Resistor
2 027-419 Dayton DMPC-4.3 4.3uF 250V Polypr Cap
2 027-220 Dayton PMPC-3.0 3.0uF 250V Precis Cap
2 027-462 Jantzen 0.15uF 1200V Z-Superior Cap
and this is a pic of the crossover from eBay:
I'm probably not going to do anything more with them as the cabinets are pretty beat up but you never know. This was the old binding post system with the screw on push button spring type wire connectors either broken of lost.
This is the part from Radio Shack that had a long enough threaded bolt to make it through to the back of the crossover.
Here you can see the shiny bolt sticking through the crossover. It actually 'threaded' through the plastic housing and the square hole on the crossover. I soldered that tab to the threaded bolt to insure a lasting connection and checked it with an Ohm meter afterward. I used a smaller nut that Radio Shack had in stock as the ones that came with the new part were a little too big.
Here's the finished product.
This little project sucked up some serious time and the speakers are probably going to live out there days in a buddies garage. I have a few other fish to fry before I mess with them any further. I hope you like the pic's.
This thread may need to be moved to the DIY section ... or not.
