Al K's Extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeme Slope Crossovers!!!

[laatsch55]

That's cool Lee. I never had a reason to dissect em but I always thought they were built good.

Too bad they went out of business...

Yeah...damn good stuff...

 

[laatsch55]

Sphongled to DEATH! I can smell it here!

Yep, another reason fort the Extreme's....much better in the high power department...

Much cleaner in general


I'm fuckin impressed....

Al K is a genius...

Could be why that channel sounded like shit...

That took a wee bit of current.

I wonder if my CornScala's would benefit from some different crossovers. I have the custom one's from Bob Crites

 

[laatsch55]

Have you checked out Al's site??

It's been quite a while Lee.

Bobs crossovers are highly regarded and the prices for Al's stuff is a bit out of my range. Maybe I'll just enjoy what I have. They sound pretty good.

 

[laatsch55]

Crime of the Century is good!!

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Yup, at $1500 (and then some), i'm good....

Agreed on the extreme slope price, but his universals were pretty damn reasonable..

My biggest yahoo is how well it handles the high power and no bleedover between drivers....like I said I'm way impressed!~!

Total i think was 1682.00

Kimber Kap ... who knew ...

It was the 2 resistors next to the cap that did the Kimber in.

Yerp, they didn't last any longer than the Solens in that instance, external heat's a killer...

Especially when flames are coming out of the cracks in the resistors

 

[laatsch55]

Yeah, shit....

New crossovers may NOT be the answer if you are overpowering the speakers.

They are in this case, those were swamping resistors for the mids and tweets. They had to to bleed off a lot of excess current. Plus the slope of the universals was allowing a lot of frequency energy in the wrong drivers..

The wrong frequencies being allowed in the wrong drivers due to the shallow slope...

Tony....the hash I was hearing during DMT is no longer there!!

 

[laatsch55]

That was the most intense DMT to date.....DAYAM...
