Crossover Question
Crossover Question
Hello all,
It’s been awhile since I posted last. Had a question about the SLA crossovers. If I were to go with an alternate drive that meets the specs, would the published crossover be adequate, or would I need to find a way to tweak it specifically for the alternates? I’m not so good with the numbers. I found all the parts to create my own according to the plans, just wondering if I would be out of luck if I pulled the trigger.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Crossover Question
If the driver specs are OK the crossover is OK.
Re: Crossover Question
Follow up question. Does the voltage of the caps matter? I was looking to source them from Madisound and all the ones I am looking at are the MDL XPP 250V ones. I know that too low won’t work, but will the 250V ones be ok? The plans just specify the microfarads needed. I tried to go to a local component shop but all they had there were mylar ones.

Re: Crossover Question
My plans say over 150 volts.....first couple of lines in the crossover section. Check your plans again. They may be newer than mine.TXATC wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2019 5:18 pm Follow up question.

Re: Crossover Question
Thanks for the info Bruce. I rechecked the section and didn’t see anything about the voltage, but if yours say 150+ then i’ll run with em. Thanks again!

Re: Crossover Question
I'm sure they'll be fine....
But, that's why I always order the crossover parts from Leland.....you know you're getting the correct ones.

Re: Crossover Question
With the hi-fi SLA no one makes poly or mylar crossover caps that have too low a rating.
Re: Crossover Question
Thanks guys! I hope to have a build post up soon! I’ve put this off for FAR too long.
