| Mini DSP SHD - should I buy to replace a preamp? I own two minidsp 4x10's and a couple of 2xHD's. They have great products for the price. DSP is an incredible tool when used properly (horrible when misused). I don't know about the new SHD model since I haven't used it, but I find the miniDSP ... | |
| Combination of 1st order and 2nd order crossover in 3 way box Erik, I have all of the driver specs but I haven't tested them in the box. I was more asking the question about combining different order crossovers so that I can learn more about them and to learn people's thoughts on them. I have since foun... | |
| Combination of 1st order and 2nd order crossover in 3 way box erik_squiresYou always respond well to my posts and I appreciate it. I will post on diy as you suggested. I am certainly just experimenting as that is how I learn best. I think a standard 1st order crossover will work well in this situation as ... | |
| Using an RCA cable splitter into subwoofer If you are coming out of the subwoofer output of a processor, just use one rca into your subwoofer. The processor will be doing all of the work. One rca cable to each sub will be great. | |
| Help with crossover capacitors Thanks to everyone for the help on this project. I re-capped the Altec's with some Clarity CSA's, replaced the resistors with Mills (and one Mundorf). They sound so much better. I did one and then compared the two and it wasn't even close. I a... | |
| Re-capping Modular Component Systems 3222 Receiver Is there any reason to replace the ceramic resistors in the output section? They're .33ohm, 3 watts. I'm struggling to find a 3 watt resistor. | |
| Crossover Capacitor In Parallel with Woofer erik_squires- I believe that you are correct. It does look like a Zobel. I will do some more reading to understand this, but at first glance it makes sense. Thank you and everybody else for your comments. | |
| Help me read this resistor So, it must say 1R4 because it is 1.4ohms. | |
| Help me read this resistor Thanks Erik. I will take it out of the circuit and measure it just to be sure. | |
| Help with crossover capacitors I get that, but does that actually deliver more wattage to the speaker? Or does it give headroom to the circuit? | |
| Help with crossover capacitors Great. I think it will be fine as I really don't push them too much. Thanks for commenting. Everyone on this thread has been so helpful. | |
| Help with crossover capacitors These speakers are rated at 50 watts at 8ohms. I'm going to buy the Yamaha s-501 which is 85 watts per channel at 8 ohms. I will turn them up and listen to them loud sometimes, but "loud" is a relative concept. How exactly would I double up in ... | |
| Help with crossover capacitors Just ordered it. Thanks. | |
| Help with crossover capacitors And another question: The resistors are 30ohm 15watt and 15ohm 10watt. Mills makes both of these in 12 watt versions. Will this work? | |
| Help with crossover capacitors The 5.6uf caps are not available. Could I just use 2x 3uf caps in parallel to replace the 6uf caps? Then I just order all caps of the same size. |
