Unfortunately, the images are very blurred. Was ich aber sofort erkenne, ist dass der "Bastler" dort wirklich extrem übertrieben hat mit dem Netzteil. Solche Elkos würde gut zu einer Leistungsendstufe passen, aber ganz sicher nicht zu dieser aktiven Frequenzweiche!Got a chance to open the last box that contained the active crossover. See attached pictures. It is heavily modded - with a separate power supply box - very heavy - containing all those big capacitors.
I never looked at the inside of the unmodded active 1b's crossover - so I assumed the the original capacitors in it were removed.
The active crossover may have a power consumption of 0.3 A for "+" and "-". That's it.
I admit, these connectors are hard to come by, but they are there! You looking to good connectors for big cables? Although this is a German provider which is certainly in the U.S.. Here ist is.I am still having trouble to connect the wiring from the passive crossovers to the mid/hi drivers. The wire ends have solder on them and it increased the size from 12 ga to at least 10 ga. Cannot find female terminals that can take 10 ga wire. I am thinking about cutting the ends off and then attach the new terminals - however, even finding good quality female terminals that can take 12 ga wire is difficult. Any suggestion?

This is a set of 4.8 mm and 2.8 mm with 12 each in red and black and gold plated and for 4 mm ² cable.
An application of precisely these connectors you can see here on my own RS1B:

The complete story about this work you can read here (Sorry, only in german, use the google translator):

Take this link and then klick on the left side the button "Force Emim". There you will see an application with this connectors.
This is not a good idea! Be very carefull. The Kappa is not builded for this type of driving! It may be demage!I am planning to test the active crossover today - using my kappa 6.1 (bi-ampable). I know it won't sound right but at least it may tell me if the active crossover is still in good shape after shipping. Any comment on whether this is a good or bad idea?
Thanks much.
