Tekton Double Impacts

I forget which end of the crossover board you need to access. Was it towards the top or bottom of the array? I forget. Sorry. Remove the top or bottom midrange driver and take a quick look. Can you access the solder points without removing the board? Possibly if partially behind one of the midrange drivers.  I think it is possible, but you will need surgeon like skills 😊

The board is hot glued and can be pried lose by using a stiff paint scraper etc...between the board and cabinet and slowly and carefully separating it from the cab from the lower midrange driver opening. The driver wires have some slack and you can now carefully move the board within the speaker and position it so you can access the resistor solder points through a mid driver cutout. Solder in the resistor and reapply some glue, liquid nails etc.  behind the board and press back into position. Not easy, but it can be done carefully.  

 

Thanks Granny. Will definitely be looking into doing this. Could a guy just use alligator clips to attach it at first to try it out? 

@mac48025.    Seems like you have to order at least 100 feet.  Wonder if this stuff is exactly the same as the NOS stuff? Interesting. I prefer the Duelund version of this wire as they do not use pvc. They only use natural fibers and oil.  I think that makes a difference. In addition,  the Duelund wire is Cryo treated.  I use the NOS WE 10 gauge as Duelund does not make this thick gauge just yet. I have long speaker wire runs and want a heavy gauge. 

@mofojo

Yes you can but a couple of things to consider.

- once you attach the clips you will have to put the driver back in place and be very sure that part and the clip does not come loose and short out! Oh my!
- the clip will impart a sound and not for the positive. Just realize this. Not a big deal unless your me and have audio issues 😉

But seriously, the danger of a Short is a real concern and approach this carefully. Perhaps Blue Tac and zip tie or something to keep the part in place. Be sure the clips are not going to move or fall off.

Can you run a thin set of wire leads out the cabinet with the mid driver in place ( not 100% tightened) and the resistor hanging outside the cab for quick removal and insertion into the circuit? Sure.

Remember, the drivers have simple wood screws holding them in and the more you remove and tighten them to more you weaken the hold. All that a/b (ing) will take a toll.

Bill and Tom, How did you terminate the WE speaker cables? Did you just use them unterminated directly onto the posts?
