Just acquired a pair of S6s in excellent condition for not much money and seeking someone to upgrade the crossovers. I have no experience or knowledge in this area.

I had Westmassguy upgrade my S4s a year ago with dramatic results but unfortunately, Dave is extremely backed up other work. S4 and S6 share the same crossover. Dave had to make an extra PCB board for the larger caps which were then connected to the original crossover PCB board which had the inductors. I am aware that the terminal cup opening will have to be enlarged in order to get the larger caps into the box. Thats no problem.

Nothing complicate just replace existing caps with similar or higher values, keep the stock inductors on existing PCB board with stock terminal cups. Like to use Sonic Cap Gen I and Mills resisters but will entertain any other suggestions depending on price.

Thanks looking forward to your replies,

    You'd maybe have better results if you post some photos of the existing crossovers, the hole they have to fit through, and your location.

    yep...what he said. If the crossovers come out of the box there could be a few here that could help but pics or it never happened!
