Timdalf just brought his crossovers over to get the high dollar mills resistors installed. His was the last pair we needed to get upgraded....

The 8 ohm woods in the Soni phase are not near as efficient as the 4 ohm in The K's.
....the power Required to get the SPL's out of The Sonis is way more than the the K's. Soooooo .......the swamping resistors have to bleed a lot more juice when.pushed to the same levels...

That's a lot of potential residual heat...is this an AMP, or a TOASTER? :diabloanifire:


Oh, it's a CROSSOVER. Now you see why I need regular sleep.

don't let them smoke a bowl and they might not get toasted?

The little funny face could mean soooooooo much. I know we are trying to adapt the crosses to something they weren't made for but they're pretty darn close. If I was to do this from scratch again any words of wisdom??
