Sign in to disble this ad
My SWR 2x15 has a crossover and a tweeter control pot.
Can I wire my speakers directly to my amplifier in jack, bypassing all that other stuff?

| | Registered User | | | | | Recently my cab starting acting up......kind of a crackly quiet sound all of a sudden.
I'm going to check the speakers, and then wire them bypassing the crossover and tweeter.
thanks.

On Eden cabs, the crossover components, PC board, and jacks are all one assembly. It's impossible to wire directly to the jacks because they're part of the PC board.
One would have to remove the jacks/PCB assembly from the metal jack plate and install new jacks.
Your SWR cab may be built similarly; I don't know.

So it's far easier to simply install new jacks and leave the original PCB/jack assembly alone.

This way the tweeter is not powered anymore (thats what the OP wants) and the 15's are now connected straight to the jack  .
