    As per Jerry's list, I have ordered from Sonic Craft and will do my 2.3TL's maybe this weekend. Having never soldered anything in my life or attempted anything like this, it should be fun (I hope). Any words of wisdom out there? Do it yourself instructions?

    Thanx, Bill

    Do one crossover first, using the other as a guide. Do NOT hot glue the resistors.

    Update Jerry ????

    I have let them play 24/7 for the last week, occasionally turning the volume up and down. They are starting to really sound Damn good. I did not realize how many changes hey would go through...Very worth it. I am going to give them another week or so before the review. I will say this.. I do not regret this upgrade.

    Hi Bill, I would look up soldering techniques on YouTube. Sounds funny, but there are some good how to vids there.
    Also don't forget to get a good desoldering tool.

    jerry - been to you tube and watched a ton of vid's on soldering and de-soldering. Got a soldering station and de-soldering pump. Does it help to hot glue the caps in place then solder the wire to the board?

    Bill solder all the caps in first. When you have completed the installations, gently pull the old hot glue off the coils then freshly hot glue the caps & coils to keep them secure.
