Hi
I have a pair of PMC TB2 + speakers and have been on the look out for a TB2+ centre. However these appear to rarer than hens teeth, so I'm now looking at a plain vanilla TB2 centre speaker and carrying out the plus upgrade myself.
PMC want £200 (+ dealer fitting costs) for the upgrade kit which consists of the following:
a, Vifa Soft Dome tweeter (Vifa D27TG-35-06 I believe).
b, Undisclosed crossover, although opinion suggest that it drops the x-over point from 3kHz to 2kHz.
c, Change of acoustic foam on rear port.
As the tweeter can be sourced for £33 I'm reluctant to pay PMC all that money, however, I can't find any details of the crossover. A very helpful speaker component supply and design shop suggested that I would be able to install the new tweeter and upgrade the capacitors on the existing crossover.
Although I'm handy with a soldering iron, I really do not have a clue on the design side, so was hoping for some advice from those who do (have a clue).
Thanks in advance.

- Would these replacement caps be the same spec, but just better quality or do I need to get a new crossover designed to match the new tweeter?
- What caps would you recommend (manufacturer and / or spec), if it can be answered without more info?
- Could I copy the crossover in my TB2+ stereo pair (cabinets are a different size).
Thanks in advance.
