RE: New pair of DIY VOTT / A7-800 Crossovers almost done

Yes sir Kyle, a newer type of cap.

Look up, and see reviews on Clarity Cap DTAC MKP. The cap I use can do high current I rms= 64 A. and it has an ESR if 1.3 mOhm at 100 kHZ.

The pot is a nuded ALTEC 10 Ohm pot from a stock 801 Crossover. Please notice how I have eliminated the metal terminals, and wired two paralleled 14 AWG wires ( equals 11 AWG ) directly to the pot's internal elements, "skipping" the terminals with their dissimilar metals.

I find it important to match driver levels ( 802D to 515B ) to 0.1 dB, and do so by ear, hence, a pot gets used.

Working on a second DC Type 45 SET stereo DIY build - started in earnest - tonight.

My ALTEC VOTT speakers are done for now. Hooray !! Need to break-in all these film caps.
