i bought a set of really great sounding, second-hand speakers it was made by a company called Tesla from the Czech Republic
now they are 3 way and have 2 3 position switches on them one for high and one for mid tones so that you can tune them to have a bit lower,higher or normal high and mid tones
now the problem that i discovered now is that on one of them the bass sometimes goes away so stops working and when you switch the switches a few time it works again and after a few minutes it stops again etc.
I think it is some mechanical problem that it losses contact on the crossover or is it something more serious?

it is not connected to the switch but when you move the switch it works again so maybe when you move the switch you maybe shake the crossover which results in making a contact again
I'm interested in building/purchasing a 2 way xover. This would be a first 2 way.
I have mounted 2 x 6.25" into 2 mdf enclosure towers and I don't have tweeters picked out. These were the freebee Peerless from 2 Burning Amp ago shows, at 6.25". So a vented port, with 1 tweeter and 1 midwoofer per side. Any recommendation on tweeters/crossovers for these would be appreciated. Thanks Ron

I went with a pair of HiVi dome tweeters and a pair of Dayton x-overs at 3.5KHz. I started with a 1" vent/port hole near the bottom of the front plate. Any pointers would be appreciated. 🙂
A little confusing, because the x-over is rated at 4-8 ohms and the HiVi says it's a 6 ohm impedance. 😱
Impedance varys with frequency - so 'off the shelf crossovers' won't give good results, crossover part need to be calculated for the drivers they're being used with.

Ron (firstwatt),
You should measure your drivers, or connect to the website with the T/S parameters.

Firstwatt, wouldn't it be better if you started a new thread?
