Hi Guys: I'm thinking about rebuilding the crossovers on a very old pair of RSe's. I replaced the surrounds a couple years ago which is what got me started with this speaker building stuff.
Anyway, I've always hated the little spring loaded binding posts, so I'd replace those.
The tweeter L-pads don't seem to work anymore, or my ears are too old to hear them work, and I worry the caps are so old that they're no longer what they claim to be.
When I re-did the surrounds, I also bought a "By-Pass" cap the guy who sold me the surrounds recomended. It's a .1 uf Dayton that did seem to smooth out the tweeter some at the time. It's paralled with an 8.5 uf. cause that's what he told me to do. (good, bad, or indifferent?)
The inductors I'd have to measure, but I wanted to hear what you all thought before I pull the crossovers apart.
I would also brace the box a little, silicone the seems, add a better gasket to the woofer, along with adding some Sonic Barrier to the back.
So, if you please, take a look at the pic and let me know if you think it would be worth while or not. Thanks Mark
