Baby Advent Crossover

ECM · 31st March 2006, 11:17 AM

I have a pair of baby advent II loudspeakers and I would like to mod the crossover a bit. I don't want to change the values, just use better components.

The tweeter cap is a 3uF with a 2 ohm pad.

The woofer inductor is not marked. Anyone have a clue as to the value?

Thanks.

My father has a pair of the baby Advents,,and did some crossover work on them..They sounded pretty good,but i think he eventually went back to the original crossovers.

I'll ask him about the values,and hopefully get back to you here.
(of course,somebody else might beat me to it...)

The Advents sound fairly decent for a budget set of bookshelf speakers and I think a small improvement can be had by using better components in the crossover. Especially the electrolytic cap.

If I really have to, I'll count the turns of wire on the ferrite bar and calculate the inductance that way. It looks like a 1/4" diameter ferrite bar.
