Hello everyone. A client asks me to repair these speakers because they do not sound good. When I review them I find that they have made a small disaster. Does anyone have data or photos of the original montage?
Thank you very much to all.

Use the Genesis ID pages, figure out what you've got. Huw has most crossover diagrams on each model's page.

Genesis crossovers were often arrived at experimentally, as opposed to with much planning. If you see crazy impedance curves it is probably original!
Hahahahah
I would not bother to try to replicate the original crossover as it was probably very poor by today's standards. Start with fresh measurements, and design your crossover from a clean sheet of paper.
Best,
Erik

Huw does have the crossover diagram.
Erik: I don't know, 2nd order all around with forgiving drivers, should be fine.

mmm, I am going to suppose that in the repair they respected the values of the capacitors and I am going to replace them with suitable ones. I just hope that the inductors are original. Thanks for the comments and suggestions.

Well, these speakers ARE good. They got a pretty good calorific value. That's the most heartwarming value you'll ever get out of it. Other than that, any money spent on it is a waste. You could salvage a few crossover parts first though.
Well, first check the tweeters' output if they sounded allright after the earlier ugly recap. These are screwed together and you could clean out dried fluid. And clean those old switches. Both issues common to speakers of that era after all these years.
Blast from the past. I had a set off these in the early 80's, red surrounds. They sounded very good for non rock and roll music. Surrounds dried out and never did repair them, wiss I still had them, they had a light oak cabinet, looked classy.
I think Huw still offers rebuilt crossovers, which for the IIIs might well be worth the piece of mind.

Bill,
Wow, I have never seen a Genesis speaker schematic so simple. You are right, of course.
