I had a XO on my OB 3ways I was extremelly happy with, the simple XO circuit was together with test clips. starting from the end of my ZU Libtec speaker cables. I decided to hard wire it all together with some 24ga 4n silver solid core over cotton I had stashed & fired it up. Result is not good.. bright & or to detailed.. that might pass , but the biggy is my mid bass is gone from 150-300Hz.. 150hz down is handle from seperate amps.. speakers are B200 & G2 ribbon off a 300B PP amp.. it was perfect, it is not now. I will try & rewire with heavier ga wire this weekend,, such a bummer.. is it the light gauge.. I just can't believe it actually..something is WAY off..
