Wiring resistors together

Agreed, as I mentioned in the Xo it can transform the SQ in a bad way (create a new unwanted signature:eek:)Vr3MxStyler2k3 wrote: »I have had some extremely negative results replacing resistors 10% in spec... like 9 to 8.2
Resistors can make or break a loudspeaker in my experience (as far as values go)

one more thought about the poly switch.
do you guys usually remove them?
or just leave them be and replace the other parts of the XO?

More to come :biggrin: -
I always remove them.
TKo- Did Russ send that sign yet?CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint. -
By definition, all chaps are assless. That's what makes them chaps, as opposed to leather pants with a frings.
Any who, the rule is:
Resistors in series are additive. Resistors in parrallel are parrallel are calculated with Rt = R1 *R2 over R1 + R2. Capacitors are the opposite. Capacitors in parallel are additive, and in parallel are figured with Ct = C1 * C2 over C1 + C2.
As far as the value you're after, just go with Mills 1%. A 3 Ohm 1% tolerance 12 watt is 4.15 from sonic craft.
And yeah, pull the polyswitches and replace them with a resistor. I found a .2 Ohm to work best with my sand amp, but now that I'm running tube amps, I'm thinking of going to a .1 Ohm, or possibly back to a jumper. The speakers seem a just a bit too warm now. But I won't be making a decision until the new tube set I'm running has at least 100 hours on them.Turntable: Empire 208

I have not received it yet and am not bugging him as if he sent USPS, we just went through a Canada Post strike so that may have caused delays. I'll get it when I'll get it...I always remove them.

This thread is Awsome to me!!!
Thank you all involved explaining this, especially Technokid I believe.
When I looked at schematics, the drawings always showed those resistors that are I KNOW NOW piggybacked into a circuit. I couldn't wrap my brain around the fact that the current can't flow through one end, out the other and into the next the way the drawings showed.
This info should be told to anybody interested in audio under any company heading from now on. Understanding schematic lay-outs if you want to upgrade.
Simple..
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
Vr3MxStyler2k3, aren't you the one who wants to charge folks to rebuild their XO's?If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.
