I have been wondering for some time about adding or making my speakers 3 way. First off I am running JBL D130's with LE175 horns and drivers referred to as potato mashers. My crossovers are JBL N1200.
I built these in the mid 80's I think my crossovers were beginning to get tired, They have the old paper and wax cap's and they were sounding muddy and I purchased some inexpensive 2way crossovers from amazon and it seemed to bring these speakers back to life. Blew me away how much better they sounded, which brings me to this.
I was thinking about buying new tweeters and use the LE175's as midranges and getting new 3 way crossovers. Ideas or suggestions. I will probably try to rebuild my JBL N1200's and maybe just leave it at is if rebuilding makes them sound as good as it does now with the cheap 2 way crossovers. I know the N1200 are completely filled with wax, and would like suggestions on getting them apart

How do these horns work and what are their dimensions?
If you got lucky with a generic crossover then it's going to be difficult to say why. It's not something you'll find easy to repeat.
