I'm getting to it as I have time and money to make it happen, but I have gotten started on my 2.5s by sending the woofers off to Bill Watkins to be re-foamed and thoroughly checked out. He should have them already and I guess I'll see what the damage$ are when he gets done. I should know by the weekend if he is not backed up with work.
I had a request to make known what my crossover capacitors checked out at, well here's what I got for the right speaker (starting at the bottom and working my way up):
75uf+ 50uf 100V = 142uf , -0.31 ESR
50uf 100V = 67.1uf, -0.27 ESR
700uf 100V = 761uf, -0.35 ESR
1100uf 100V = 1170uf, -0.33 ESR
75uf + 50UF 100V = 141uf, -0.31 "
700uf 100V = 757uf, -0.34 "
3.83uf 100V = 3.72uf, -0.16 "
Left speaker:
75 + 50uf = 141uf 0.27 ESR
50uf = 60.3uf 0.22 "
700uf = 757uf 0.31 "
1100uf = 1150uf 0.31 "
75 + 50uf = 143uf 0.26 "
700uf = 706uf 0.33 "
3.83uf = 3.77uf 0.21 "
I am seeing that I have a lot of work ahead of me, especially in repairing the broken grill frames, the broken top piece (on one side),and then refinishing the cabinets.
I would like to get some classy grill cloth with a nice diamond pattern in it, but can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Where is a good place to buy good quality sonically transparent grill cloth? I like to make things look different than stock, but I will use stock-looking material if that's all I can find. By the time I get to the grill cloth I may be just wanting to get the speakers finished/completed anyway and will use most anything if I don't find some nice material early in the game.
