Make a crossover from picture as reference.

Hi,

Could anyone look at this crossover picture and say if I could collect all parts and build a replica of it?

The crossover sits in a speaker with a 1 "tweeter from SICA and a 6.5" midrange from SEAS.

The problem you will have working from just the picture is:


1. The value of the inductors is not known.
2. The value of the two capacitors at the lower left is not known.
3. The connections between the parts is not shown.


The missing information is likely to prevent a successful clone.

Post a picture and information on this Silca/Seas speaker.

I suspect that there is a superior fully documented diy-design you could successfully build.

Do you have access to a woodshop, or plan to use a pre-built cabinet?

SEAS 6.5" woofer

SICA 1" driver (Not 100% sure but similar specs)

A video showing the back of the speaker, the in-wall version.

I plan to build the box myself.

Cloning crossover, without knowing the exact driver units? Forget about it. You even don't have access to the original horn.
The right way: choose drivers to your liking, build the boxes, measure, simulate, build the crossover. And enjoy.

I hear you.

I have asked a guy who has exactly that speaker and he should be very familiar with what is sitting in the box. I'm just waiting for his answer.

But do you mean that it is not worth trying if I know exactly which components and more pictures of the crossover?

Procella Audio maybe are using custom-made drivers from Sica and/or Seas, which may look exactly like the mundane, available to the general public drivers, but with different parameters. Or maybe not. Bottom line: your friend can not judge that just from the look of the drivers.
And what about the P6V horn, which does not look like a Sica Q07020A horn, or any I can thought of?

A couple of kits with similar waveguide design.
