Crossovers..

[Trappistes]

Dont know if this is the right place to post this, but here it goes.

My friend recently upgraded his HT and gave me his old floor standing sony speakers(yea i know they were free tho) the model is Sony SS F6000 it has them listed as a 4 way speake, however they do not have a crossover, and i have been trying to find a 4 way crossover, but can only seem to find 2 or 3 ways, would a 3 way work? or is there a way to make a 4 way crossover ?

Anyway thanks for anyhelp! i'm about 2 days new into speakers so please excuse my ignorance.

It is very unlikely they don't have an XO. Pictures?

the default pictures for them is SS-F6000 | Floor-Standing Speakers | Sony | SonyStyle USA

if needed i can get my camera out and take some myself

Looks like it is probably a 3.5-way speaker.

There is likely a minimum of 1 inductor & 2 caps in the crossover. You'll need to pop the drivers out and look inside.

Alright, i took out the drivers, and took a few pictures of what i seen.

and the other 2 drivers, had nothing attached to their wires. Also, would you recommend upgrading to a higher gauge speaker wire ?

Thanks alot!

You should find a radial cap inside the shrink wrap, can't tell anything else from the photo, and I don't think wire gauge is a problem

Ask/buy (for) a new factory x-over, or get a speaker system service manual with network circuit and wiring diagram.
