Title: Speaker crossover modification expert wanted.
Post by: Own7 on Mar 15, 2021 at 03:09 PM
Guys me mga kilala kayo na magalling mag modify/upgrade ng
Speaker crossover?

I would like to experiment on buying speakers with great drivers
But with cheap crossover, mas makakatipid kase instead of buying
Expensive top of the line speakers.

Do you mean that you are designing your own box, crossover, and driver selection? why not just use designs of curt campbell, paul carmody, etc.? They already have complete designs including crossover values, box dimensions, drivers.

In any case, why not just use an active crossover so you can easily experiment on your crossover points, then switch to passive once you've finalized.

Hindi bro. Just want to buy a passive loudspeaker with cheap crossover but
Has a very good cabinet and drivers, a good example is the usher mini dancer.

Ah ok.

This is a bit old, but this might help you. http://www.humblehomemadehifi.com/download/Humble%20Homemade%20Hifi_Cap-Test-Ratings.pdf (http://www.humblehomemadehifi.com/download/Humble%20Homemade%20Hifi_Cap-Test-Ratings.pdf)

I like clarity caps.

As for inductors, haven't tried experimenting yet, but jantzen toroidal inductors look cool.

You mean you want to change the caps and resistors  with better/more expensive parts but of the same value ?  if yes, then any electronics technician can do this, since this is just remove and replaced with better parts...

True. But a good one with experience knows which caps, capacitors, inductors, wiring etc
That will match well with different components. Synergy and their respective
Sound signature kase to my liking will be better met by a true expert.

I would check with Rene Rivo.  BTW, which loudspeakers are you planning to modify ?

Usher mini dancer. Pero manggaling na u.s from my brother. I think i’ve read that
It has a very crappy crossover so a lot of room for improvement.

 Ushers are bang for the buck for what they cost and how they sound. I have the Usher X-719, the mini dancer should perform better. My suggestion would be to keep it stock for a couple of weeks/months and then decide what aspect you need to change (if change is required :) )  I ran my Usher X-719 with Rythmik F15 subwoofer and never needed to change anything on the crossover or the system, the woofer took a a couple of months  to break in though....

Better DIY sir, meaning ikaw mismo ang gumawa kasi personal preference mo na at stake as per your comments, Passive Crossover is a very simple in form but complicated in practice. Pwede reasearch and learn to solder and desolder, you can do it...

Sang ayon ako na ikaw mismo magpalit ng mga piyesa sa crossover. Sa mga capacitor, marami pagpipilian gaya ng oil, polypropelene, silver mica etc. Basa lang sa speaker threads dami mapupulot.
