Thanks again everyone, everything clear now.

Thanks everyone for your help and advice. I am very much a novice at this. With regards the 'star grounding' mentioned, Am I wrong in thinking that soldering all connections at the posts achieves this?

Very impressed, unfortunatly I have gone to far with my original idea. And to be honest it looks fine to me. Can i take it then, that as long as all the crossover components make the correct circuit it doesn't matter where you make the connections?

Hi, yes, thats exactly what i've done. My problem was with the actual wiring of the crossover and where to join it all. Is it best to - 1. Run everything to and from the posts themselves, directly soldering everything together at the respective post. Or 2.Use a common ground wire...

Thanks for your replies, I thought about a seperate enclosure for the x over but given the size of the speakers already i think my better half may have somthing to say on the matter. The stands are fully enclosed, 5 inches high and made from the same wood as the speakers. They will be fixed...

Hi, Just finishing off the boxes of my first speaker project. I am using jx150 and jxr6 drivers in a sealed 50L cabinet. My question involves the the wiring of the 2nd order crossover i will be using. Due to the size of the components and for conveniece the x over will sit on a draw that...

I had a similar problem with my pionear pds505 precission. It would squeak when loading a cd. Inside under the laser tray(3 screws) you have access to 3 motors. I found that the laser tracking motor was difficult to turn. I worked some aerosol silicone grease into each motor bearing until...

Thanks for your replies. I ended up ordering the jx150's and jx6's. Will be going ahead with the design from my original post but am still a little undecided about enclosure volume. Was considering the 50 litre box. I can build the boxes ok and have no problems soldering etc but the design...

Hi, I have been considering upgrading my speakers for some time and have decided to go DIY. I have been recommended Jordan drivers and have searched the net for some designs. http://documents.jordan-usa.com/Enclosures/JX150_and_6_closed_cabinet.pdf Has anyone had any experience with...

Hi everyone after some advice/recommendations for some good modern speakers to suit Pioneer A300 precision amp and matching precision cd player. Currently using a pair of Celestion DL8 series 2 which sound quite good. Was going to buy second hand and have about £800 to spend. Was thinking...

Thanks, just wanted to be sure. Will get them fitted soon as.

Sorry to bring up an old post, but am going to upgrade my planet and just wanted to be clear on a few things. What voltage 150pF polystyrene caps to use? I have found some 630v, are they ok? What wattage 47ohm resisters? was going to get 0.5w Thanks for you help.
