[QUOTE="John Halliburton, post: 64388, member: 8"] Re: Something doesn't look right here... I agree with everything Ivan's added here Alan-I even went back and checked my notes, because I'd thought I had doubled up on the resistors, partly due to some of the the originals being an odd(custom) value of 19 ohms, IIRC. The rebuild got pretty crowded, as the doubling of resistors and the fact the Solen caps were about 4x larger than the originals, but I got it all in there. That is another reason for recommending the use of aluminum extrusions and standoffs, you can build a second layer above the board and fit these larger bits, along with gaining heat dissipation capacity for the resistors. The Goop brand of adhesive works better than the original hot melt adhesive used in the EAW(and many other brands). Silicon is probably more heat tolerant, but it's also not as good at heat transfer. I(and others) use the Goop as the basic adhesive for crossovers. Alan, you may have gotten the speakers running again, but you've certainly altered the performance a lot, and not for the better, or the same. Best regards, John [/QUOTE]
