I need help rebuilding my cerwin-vega LS-12 crossovers. The speakers cost me $400 for the pair. I love the way they sound with my system which is parasound. Well I looked at the crossovers and they are preaty cheep,... I like the sound of the speakers though.. So I'm guessing If I rebuild the crossover with better parts the speaker will sound better. I don't know much about the driver quality or what not. But I was wondering what you would think if I rebuilt the crossovers on it. I got the shematics for the crossover.

Plus I was wondering what you thought on parts. I was thinking solens caps but wasn't sure what I should use for the inductors, also I'm thinking mills for the resistor, But I'm Not sure, cause I'm not sure if it's wise to invest so much money on rebuilding the crossovers due to maybe the quality of cerwin vega drivers. SO maybe I can put cheeper parts in some part of the crossover. I don't know just asking for your opinion or help.
Thank you...

"I love the way they sound with my system which is parasound. Well I looked at the crossovers and they are preaty cheep,... I like the sound of the speakers though.."Why do you want to change the sound if you love it already? Seems counter intuitive to me.
But if you want to see where the resolution limits are on the LS-12's then Solen would be a good choice for the caps as would the Mills resistors. Solen also sells some Non-inductive low noise metal oxide resistors which would net you small gains depending on where they are implemented in the x-over circuit.
I would not change/mess with the inductors are these are not just a "swap 'em out" part. You have to take into consideration the DCR of the inductor as well as the driver parameters to get an exact match. I highly doubt you could get that data from Cerwin-Vega.
If the x-over is built on a PCB, consider chucking that and rebuild it using point to point wiring and mount it external to the speaker. Or if that is not possible, build the x-over on a 3/4" piece of MDF and mount it internally but on rubber bushings.
By the way...the link does not work.
Hope this helps,

Thats funny it works with firefox, thats the browser I use, I recomended it over explorer. More streamlined quicker. But anyway try this link.
http://briefcase.yahoo.com/h2flow@sbcglobal.net you might have problem with explorer though I don't know why... IF you want I can email you the crossover pdf over the internet if you want..... h2flow@sbcglobal.netWell I love em, and I know I can love em more..... call it intuition...
