starting my restoration of a pair of Infinity RS IIIa's...The speaker must have fallen or something because the heavy 40 mH coil was torn off the crossover and ended up on the bottom of speaker...problem is that when it got torn off one of the leads about 3 inches in there is a twisted kink that i can't get out...

from what i understand i just can't cut 3 inches off it without effecting the ohm rating, second is I'm having trouble finding a replacement...

any ideas/ thoughts...?
 
Don't worry about it. Three inches compared to the total length of wire in that coil is completely insignificant, as is the kink BTW.
 
Thanks, yeah worrying about the kink may be overkill but although I really enjoy doing this its a lot of work and wouldn't be very excited to have to tear these back apart if there was an issue...
 
40mh?

Wow, on a choke that big 3 inches is nothing. As audiomagnate said, Don't worry about it either way.
