LFTVIIIa crossover mods

Posted by GitarreTyp (A) on April 13, 2004 at 19:38:13

I'm toying with the idea of doing a 1-1 parts swap to higher quality components in the crossovers in my lft-viiias. I have a couple of questions for those that might have undertaken this endeavor themselves before i pull out the woofer and end-up with a bigger job than i'd hope to find.

What's the dcr of the inductors, and how important is it to get a 100% match? The only 1.25mH inductor i can find is from madisound. The manual for the speakers seems to indicate that the crossovers are not removable. Is this true? Are they constructed on terminal strips? Are the resistance values listed on the schematic for the panels themselves or are they actual resistors? Finally, what's stock component quality like? Are upgrades really worthwhile?

I realize i could just ask bruce thigpen for this info, but i'd rather not bother him if possible.

Thanks
