    Need help wiring replacement high-pass filter for Avatar cabinet mod

    I cancelled the order because it wasn't going to get here in time. What 2-way crossover should I get to link my 4 ohm subs with my 8 ohm midrange drivers?

    Need help wiring replacement high-pass filter for Avatar cabinet mod

    Maybe I'm ******** but I can't seem to get any sound out of the 6" driver, except for static buzzing. Everything is coming out of the 12 inch sub still. Which makes sense because the input jack is connected directly to the sub instead of going through a 2-way crossover first. Am I missing...

    Need help wiring replacement high-pass filter for Avatar cabinet mod

    I finally wired it up like in your diagram. Seems to be working OK. Thanks a lot for your help. Should I be able to hear a slight buzzing (when my ear is a foot away from the 6" speaker)?

    Need help wiring replacement high-pass filter for Avatar cabinet mod

    I already physically removed the L-Pad. Should I put it back in, so I can connect the ground part? Also, my cab also has a Speakon input that I use exclusively, between the L-Pad and the two 1/4" inputs. How would I wire it in order to use the Speakon connector?

    Need help wiring replacement high-pass filter for Avatar cabinet mod

    Thanks so much, this looks like exactly what I needed. I will try to wire it up sometime today hopefully.

    Need help wiring replacement high-pass filter for Avatar cabinet mod

    So I take the whole top part (with 2 yellow capacitors, 2 inductors, and 2 unknown white blocks) completely off? Then I take the red/black wires (after cutting them away from the aforementioned top part) that connect to the woofer, and connect them to the IN+ and IN- of the high pass filter...

    Need help wiring replacement high-pass filter for Avatar cabinet mod

    I was planning on removing the attenuator entirely, which is what the OP did with good results. But I'm really confused about how to wire everything up without the L-Pad. When 1958Bassman says to remove the yellow capacitor, which one does he mean? I see two on my board, one 4.7 uF, and...

    Need help wiring replacement high-pass filter for Avatar cabinet mod

    I'm trying to do the same mod the OP did, but I'm getting confused about the wiring. Am I supposed to remove the filter that is attached to the original board? (The one with all the hot glue on it). How do I power both speakers with just the new 1k6 high pass filter, when there are only 2...

    Singing the praises of my modified Avatar SB112 with midrange driver

    My new amp puts out 600 Watts. I don't plan on cranking it too close to the max, but I am kind of worried that if it somehow ends up clipping, it will blow my Eminence LA6-CBMR 6-1/2" speaker, if I bypass the attenuator like the OP did. Should I just buy a better attenuator, or will I be fine...

    Singing the praises of my modified Avatar SB112 with midrange driver

    I was going to use the same setup as the OP: Eminence LA6-CBMR 6-1/2" sealed back midrange speaker and an Eminence PXB:1K6 high pass crossover board, so 1600 Hz. I'm not sure what the order of the filter is.

    Singing the praises of my modified Avatar SB112 with midrange driver

    I'm worried that the 150 watt midrange driver will get blown when I turn up the volume on the 500 watt SB112 cab. I want to be able to crank my amp to 250 watts at least. Should I just return these 150 watt speakers and look for more powerful replacements?

    How to wire xcrover in 310/6 cab

    OK thanks for the help. Sorry for posting it twice, I just wanted to be sure before I buy everything.

    How to wire xcrover in 310/6 cab

    What if I have a 4 ohm Avatar SB112, and I replace the tweeter with an Eminence LA6-CBMR 6-1/2", which is 8 ohms, and use an Eminence PXB:1K6 High Pass Crossover? What would be the resulting impedance?

    Singing the praises of my modified Avatar SB112 with midrange driver

    How many ohms is your SB112? I have a 4 ohm Delta cab that I want to try this mod on. The Eminence LA6-CBMR 6-1/2" has a 8 ohm impedance. What would the resulting impedance of the modified cab be? My amp head can handle down to 2 ohms, but I want to add another identical SB112 cab that I...

    Fender Pro 400 2x10, GK 1001RB 1x15, or GK 400RB head?

    If anyone has any experience with any of these amps I'd really appreciate your opinion. You don't have to have tried them all or give an in-depth comparison. Any advice on any of them would help a lot. I know I'm a newb here but I'm kinda desperate because I have to make a decision soon or...
