RE: mg1.6 xo suggestions

too bad that the mug tweaks web site is down. The original factory schematics are listed there.

You do need to do surgery on your Magnepan to bypass the original crossover. To use this upgraded XO. You can see the procedure here:

In my procedure I wired my XO for bi-amping. That is why you see two speaker inputs and two speaker outputs. Your XO is not wired for bi-amping.

The key is the colors listed on the blue tape in your photo. I cannot read your posted photo that well. But I am guessing the tape says Blue, Brown, Black, White.

Blue (+)/Brown (-) goes to the tweeter panel. Black(-)/White(+) goes to the woofer panel if the original tweaker followed the factory color scheme.

Also if you follow the wires, the tweeter network should have a single cap in the path that is near 22mfd. The woofer network has a 25mfd cap and a 3.7mH inductor. Those are the near stock values.
