Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Seriously,

Change the caps in the network to good polypropylene type, cut off all the push-on connectors and solder straight to the driver terminals, and be done with it.

If you are not very, very good at soldering, have someone that is very, very good do the soldering on the mids and tweets for you. It is easy to ruin a tweeter if you are not skilled.

If your tweeters are the newer polymeric diaphragm type, replace them with the titanium type diaphragm. If they are the original phenolic type I would leave them be.

Soldering all the driver connections will change the sound of the speaker more than you can imagine, better imaging, better detail, etc.

You should also add a block of dense neoprene sponge behind the mid driver so it wedges up against the back of the cabinet.
