The pics are nice, and I like Harley's but it's hard to see the connections in the pics.
Thanks
I'd like to know that too
FWIW, the cabs sound great and the EQ curves I got from the RTA seemed to be reasonable (I need to post those).
I also edited my earlier post with the diagram to include a photo of the actual crossover. I probably should have used something more secure than hot melt to attach the components to the board. I'll go back in this summer and add some straps or something.
Hi. I made a crossover using the compression driver for the hights and low pass for 1-10. 2Kh 8omh. Place everything in the same board. It sounds great but when I turn the volume up the, sound compresses and a weird noise comes out. Could the coils be talking to each other? I forgot to place the big low pass one at 90 deg. I followed the intructions but I could be missing something.
This is my first crossover project so I'm a little lost.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I had my first bad one a while back. Squealed like a stuck hog when the customer cranked the cab. Never made a peep when I tested it before shipping the cab.
What's an easy way to mount a crossover into a Wedgehorn? Putting it on the access panel would be simple, but I'd prefer not to have wires connecting it to the rest of the cab. The side panel with the jackplate would be ideal, but the proximity of the horn side makes driving screws just about impossible. I'm a bit scared to PL it there, in the interest of repair access.
Nice! If only I hadn't already strapped down my parts in a layout an inch wider than the plate... haha. I managed to get it on the side where I wanted it... couple screws on the close side, right by the large coil, and it's way more sturdy than I thought it would be.
I just drilled a hole in 'em and put 'em on top of the mattress topper using a wood screw (not drywall) in two places. Screw 'em in by hand slowly. You can get plenty of grip in 1/2in. ply without going through.

Pull the mattress topper out from under it. Use spacers of some kind. I have some 3/8 nylon ones I supply with prebuilt xovers. If there was ever a problem, the resistors can get hot. Mattress topper burns very nicely.

Can it get hot enough to burn through the 1/4" plywood it's glued to?

It can also get hot enough to cause the glue to soften and release its' bond. Run some zip strips over the resisters and through the 1/4" ply.
