For a while, i have been trying to make the crossovers for zaph's sr71
http://www.zaphaudio.com/SR71.html For the record, i'm going to use them with a revox A50(40w+40w) I could not find conductor of 1.5mm(close to 15AWG) in the local market so i had to use 1mm with the cost of a little higher resistanse(the 3.3mH coil riched the 0.5ohm).Am I going to have noticable amp power loss?And how could i be sure that tha 1mm conductor can handle power without heating problems? What kind of capacitors?should all of them be poly?And further more what voltage should they handle? thanks alot (the inductor in the photo :3.3mH 0.5ohm.Any comment?) |

Your inductor will handle the power, no problem
The higher impedance should idealy be taken into acount when calculating size of enclosure, but all you may notice is probably a bit more bass level and maybe a bit less controlled, but maybe you wont notice much difference, and if you are lucky it could actually be better Capacitors should all be poly as the biggest is 40uf and neither hard to get or expencive I havent handled that many caps, but I think 250V is a common and sensible value, at least thats what I use You have 3 inductors so you must mount carefully with the right orientation and preferably not too close to each other its very common to try and connect the components directly to each other with the result of a very compact and messy layout, which is a fault and is easily done wrong Mount exactly like Zaph shows there is nothing wrong in using a bit of solid core wire fore the connections http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/coils.htm btw, its very good to have a seperate earth wire from the terminals to each drivers crossover section, and please use solid core |

A small tip
I believe you can get Monacor parts in Greece Their oval silver coulered axial poly(MKT) capacitors are quite good and not too expencive |
