    5B. The earliest 5B still had the fuse but they soon got rid of that and went with the polyswitch that you have.

    Thank you for the identification. I'm thinking about rebuilding the crossovers. Is it better to rebuild the original ones or would it be alright to purchase these and rebuild them then just swap them out?rnjt4upqxl5m.jpg

    So does it make sense to buy another crossover to just rebuild with better caps? Seems like a waste of good dollars that could be better spent on quality caps and resistors.

    I purchased a spare pair of crossovers so I could take my time and still play my speakers. I prefer that 2nd configuration of PCB to the one you have. If you got that one I'd upgrade it instead of the one you currently have.

    @Gardenstater Thank you for iding them.

    @pitdogg2 Thanks. While I see what you're saying they aren't really that expensive.

    @Gardenstater Thanks that's was my plan and thought process if I purchased them.
