The idea of the sockets is to allow you to insert the resistors without soldering them in.

The earlier link in this thread will take you to an owner's manual you will need to figure out how to handle amps with a different input impedance.

According to the manual, using an amp that is appreciably lower or higher in input impedance will change the xover point either up or down, depending on that impedance. The resistor (or capacitor) is to compensate for that difference.

Thanks very much. That's too easy. My system pictured is in my - alaskahiatt 11:42:26 09/14/16 (1)
second home, and I am not there right now to access my manual. Using the manual's formula, I needed a very small resistor to slightly change my desired crossover point, but I don't remember reading how to attach the resistors in those tubes. Many thanks for the explanation.

My sub amp is a NAD 2600A, and the subs/woofers? are a pair of really inexpensive Polk RM1000 speakers spiked on cement slabs with lots of lead weight on top. My main speakers are Hitachi HS-500s.

  Glad to help. I suspect that second system sounds very good.
