Polk RTI A3 crossover component identification.

Hi All,

I have a damaged crossover pcb and i am trying to source a replacement. Can anyone identify what this component is? The only markings on the side is 5V. Maybe someone has a schematic for this part?

Thanks in advance.

    Are both speakers damaged? The other speaker if undamaged should have the values

  • I believe its 5W not V and I may found something that might work. Can any experts on here confirm this would work? https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/yageo/SQM500JB-10R/9166584
  • I've asked a friend at Polk what the value is for R1 and R2, I believe the burned one is R2.
  • The burned one is R2. Thanks for checking on it it.
  • My friend is out of his office today, you could always look at the other speaker's crossover.
  • Copy that. Unfortunately the other speaker is not available to me at the moment. I might not get my hands on it until next week.

    If you need more resistor details, Tomorrow I may have time to pull a spare ‘A3 down from storage and pull the XO.

  • Thanks Tony. I am having trouble finding 5.7Ω. any chance that might be 4.7 rather than 5.7?

    Either way your assistance/input is much appreciated.

    Tomorrow I will try to make time.

    My spare* ‘A3s* are kinda difficult to get to. I’ll post pics and a heartfelt “I’m sorry” if we learn that I fat-fingered the info years ago.

    5.6 ohm

  • Thank seleniumfalcon, 5.7 it is. Seems like a hard one to find, I have found 5.6 https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/ohmite/TWW5J5R6E/824555
    would this be acceptable I wonder....

  • I think that would be a good choice.
  • I checked in my parts bin and I found a 5.7 ohm 5 watt resistor that I'd be happy to send you at no charge.
  • No way. That is super cool of you, I'll PM you my address and I'll try and do the same for someone down the road, what a great community. thanks again all

    Since you cooked the 5 watt resistor I'd suggest you replace it/them with a 10 or 12 watt version. Mills has a 5.6 ohm that will work.

    Great idea Jesse 😊!

    OP: Look at the pic I posted before Jesse. Find the yellow .47uf cap starring up at us mid/center pic. In the past I believe Jesse has suggested that cap blows rather easily and/or is the chief offender for the RTi A series speakers infamously “hot” top end. Feel free to correct me, Jesse. To that end he’s suggested either replacing* or de-soldering* one side of that cap.
    *can’t recall which, though at .47uf, likely you won’t miss it’s ”nano level” positive contribution while greatly enjoying the softer top end.
