Tweeter levels on my left speaker were lower than the right despite trying to adjust them to balance the levels so I decided to clean those pots with some DeOxit D5. The results were very good even though they didn't look any cleaner than they did using a generic electronics cleaner.
Im posting a few pics for anyone else who decides to break out their DeOxit
pull out these big ole Quantum Crossovers !
Removed the Woofer and the Polyfill from the cabinet. Since my crossovers
have been out before I only had to remove some screws to get the crossovers out. They usually have staples holding them in.
Be sure to mark where those driver wires are located (by Color) before removing them. Then I moved everything to the bench.
Pic of the Driver wire connector rails and the Resistor for the Midbass Coupler as well as one for the middomes. (midbass resistor is a 5.4 ohm 25w) (middome resistor is a 2.7 ohm 25w)
Take off the knob and keeper nut and the Tweeter control pot comes right out.(note the other pots need to have the wires desoldered to get them out) Pry out the end of the clip that holds the pot together, then go at it with the DeOxit (A fine wire brush or stiff toothbrush helps here)
A couple more shots of those old caps wich are getting replaced in the coming weeks.
Back together and sounding better
