    These are the original crossovers I built about 10 years ago. Quick and cheap to get the speakers up and running.

    Now the upgraded crossovers. A big than you to Jeff at Sonic Craft for helping me pick caps and matching them for me. They are Jupiter and Sonic caps (Gen 1 and Platinum) with Mills resistors. It isn't the cleanest install. I didn't feel like totally rebuilding the crossovers from scratch.

    That'll be a vast improvement. I love those Jupiter "brick" caps, wish they didn't switch to the round case.

    I have to ask, are you using the Platinum caps as bypass caps?

    WW, I will tell you this in full honest. Your setups are the only ones i covet on this entire forum. Those speakers are gorgeous and I assume sound amazing. Nice job!

    Thanks but serenity comes not from what you have but knowing what you can live without. Enjoy your system, it's yours and you are the only one who has to like it.
