1.2 TL's Binding posts and SDA connection

Ricardo

I had this in mind for a while and today I did it.

Before:

after? :eek:

Ricardo

First, get rid of everything old:

Ricardo

For the SDA connection, since it's a pin/blade, only the pin is required; the blade goes to the negative binding post and is not required as long as you use a common ground amp. So I just used a binding post to replace the pin. I was lucky enough that the plastic washer (?) from the Dayton binding posts I bought fits perfectly in the whole of the original connector

Ricardo

Next: enlarge the original holes to fit the plastics from the new posts; I also put some glue to fix the one for the SDA connection:

Then fit the new posts, some sealant, and tighten them:

The solder; YEAH BABY; ready to go for the crossovers

Finished Product:

Next? The crossovers; but I'll need some help here; I've got the schematic but I have no idea of what needs to be changed; all caps and resistors, and maybe the polyswitches? I'll get a picture one of these days of one crossover and see if I can guess on what goes and what stays.

Beautiful or what???

Hey Joe...that sig looking good...... just need to get everything hooked up and let us know what you think

Yeah, I've got so many amps, eq's, mixers, crossovers, processors....I'm starting to wonder if the sound will actually GET to the speakers.

Looks nice, but two things. One you alluded to, if you ever wanted to run mono blocks, etc. with the AI-1, you can't. I don't see how this mod is any different than what was done to those beat to **** SDA's with the strange cable connections that just sold on eBay. That type of mod is not a good thing, IMO. The other, replace those stock jumpers.

I thought about the AI-1 thing...and you really still can use it, though with a little extra work; you just need to get rid of the pin/blade connector; connect the cable from the pin to the "new" binding post, and the cable from the blade to the negatives, and voila.

Will change the jumpers; I just was too lazy to do it now
