I started this a year ago and it took the help of many here in the Infinity thread
to get to this point. I had a few projects pop up in the 6 months its taken me to finally tackle these crossovers, but here are some pics of my (FIRST) speaker re-capp. Thanks to Cdfac, jimreeves, Grainger49,Tubed and many others here for helping keep me straight along the way with good advice and a part here and there.
And also my Hot melt Glue gun was a (BIG) help anchoring these caps down
and also with combining the smaller caps in parallel. I highly suggest anyone
who does a job like this to get one, It made the job much easier.
Before !
I used 2 500uf and a 100uf for the 1100 uf. Look at the size of that 40uf !
I used 2 500uf and a 400uf for the 1400uf cap, Also replaced the wirewound resistors for the midrange and midbass coupler. This board was a breeze but the real fun was just getting started.
I went ahead and gave all the pots a good cleaning with some D5 while I had the chance.
This is where it started to get interesting, (not much real estate to work with) I used a 12uf, 1.5uf, and a .1uf for that 13.6uf fuse cap. I liked my glue gun alot about then.
And the tweeter caps were a bit of a challenge I used a 1uf, and a .22uf for the 1.25 uf cap.
I used a 1uf and a .68uf for the 1.75uf cap.
I used a 2.7uf for the 2.5uf cap, then I tied everything together with some hot melt glue and soldered all the connections.
Ready to go back in the box !!
Only one more to go ! Tomorrow evening ! I will update how they sound
after I get them finished.
I am looking forward to hearing them.:yes:
Thanks fellers !
