@orpheus10 I just curios How you know this particular speakers
using electrolytic capacitors ? did you see schematic ?

What is the most dramatic way of increasing a speaker's Bass and Low mid?
No I didn't check the schematic, but I know only the most expensive speakers use teflon capacitors. I don't even know if your speakers are among the most expensive speakers; maybe they are. My speakers were custom built by me. A speaker design engineer designed the crossover, and I took it from there with some help from a place that sold raw drivers. In order not to go over budget, we used electrolytic capacitors; this gave us a general idea of what the speaker would sound like. After listening for awhile, I decided they were worth much better and more expensive capacitors, such as Jantzen Silver Series Z Caps. The largest capacitor running my 12 inch woofer is a "Solen", 100uf, 400V. https://solen.ca/product-category/capacitors/ capacitor These capacitors on the woofer section of the crossover will eliminate "tubbines"; you will have sharp bass lines. |
I think you wrong , woofer crossover 1st order use just the coil, no any capacitor, Crossover 2nd order, use capacitors , but 99.99% using teflon capacitors. the teflons capacitors get different grade and low grade cost 50-100 mkf cost $5-10 , electrolitic cost around $1. I did not see electrolits in mass bestbuy speakers. |
No my friend, you are wrong; this crossover was designed by a crossover engineer who was working for a company that sold speakers. It is a 3-way 4th order crossover, T-type. 92 DB efficient. What I'm listening to has solid firm bass. These are the capacitors that are in the bass leg of my crossover. https://www.parts-express.com/solen-100uf-400v-poylpropylene-capacitor--027-616 |
