Vandersteen 2wq x-over help


Hi. I have a Hovland Sapphire amp and I need to find out the correct values for the x-over. The output imp is 680kOhms. I tried emailing Mr Vandersteen a few weeks ago, but I haven't received an answer; very annoying considering I purchased his product.

So can anyone help please? Thanks.

Are you looking for the cut off point for your main amp? The 2Wq comes with a variable crossover (WX-2) that goes between the amp and preamp with a selector switch. Once the desired sound is achieved the box is removed and replaced with a plug in resistor at the back of your amp. This relieves the main amp and speaker of low frequencies. Without the WX-2 your only other option is to try different resistors. These are high quality resistors with male and female RCA's.

I hope this helps.
Thanks all. I didn't get WX-2, but I did get a set of 50k resistors. I was aware of the trial and error aspect of choosing the right resistor value from having read various posts elsewhere, but I was hoping to hear from someone, who already tried it with the Sapphire, who could give me some advice.

Again, thanks to any and all that can help.
I guess I don't understand what you want. It sounds like you are trying to match a subwoofer crossover to your amplifier. Is this correct?
The dip switches are 1-8, and the ones noted below are in the ON position.
Start out by going with the 200 K setting but do not go lower I will try and see what would measure higher
when I get a chance
