The original 3.5s has a small inductor above 22 gauge wire which measures about 1 inch by 1 inch , it’s mounted on a copper board with two MDL 50uf capacitors with a dynamic bypass capacitor. And that’s it’s filter.
Anyone have anything similar to the converter
I recently designed a converter for the second voice coil for my Gallo 3.5 it will also work with the 3.0 -3.1 series
In the past I owned many of Gallo upper class speakers and have tried high end external crossovers and amplifiers and well regarded speaker cables on the second voice coil I even tried bi amping Gallo own SA amps but nothing comes close to integration as the converter
The one very nice thing and a money saver is you don’t need any additional amplification or speaker cables it can be used with your existing amplifier

Sorry for the late reply, had some other matters in life that need attention. what I designed is a unit that will engage the second voice without the need for a external crossover or Gallo amp. eliminating extra speakers wires and interconnects. The low frequency range will drop to about 22 hz blending seamlessly with the overall speaker. The speaker is not physically altered in any way,The unit will have 4 wires about a foot long one set L and R for the speaker terminals and second set L and R for the sub in. The unit itself physical size will vary from about 6 inches x 8 inches , or 8 inches x 8 inches weighing about 1to 4 pounds. As for my 3.5 s I totally redone the crossover with SOA capacitors and inductors and total rewire but that is costly ….but for me it’s worth every penny.. I have owned the the top Gallo 5ls and I can honestly say the 3.5s upgrade will compete with any 40,000 speakers |
Maybe I should explain more clearly I have designed a passive network (converter) to work with the Anthony Gallo 3.0 3.1 3.5s It’s to engage the second voice coil or as marked on the speaker (sub in) Originally you need Anthony Gallo SA amps and speaker wire and interconnects or an external crossover and amplifier and speaker wire and interconnects The unit that I have designed all that is eliminated ant it blends amazingly well with the full range and extends down to about 22 hz The unit connects to the speaker in terminals on the speaker and then connects to the sub in just wondering if anyone out there has a similar design or if people would like it to come to market

@roxy54 you are not the only one 😶 |
First of all there is no ignorance on your part 🙂! Im using the term converter as the unit totally converts or transforms the Gallo 3.5 from an already great speaker to an amazing speaker. the unit is of passive design and requires not additional electronics or cabling and extends the bass down to about 22hz
