by the way, the capacitor will never test positive on a "continuity tester" because it's not really an absolute connection. You can try testing for capacitance if you are an LCR multimeter.
Crossover help?
Hi to all I'm hoping someone might be able to help.
I've tried to upgrade components within my crossover and now have no HF signal.
The tweeter checks out.
I've searched for bad joints , shorts etc but can find nothing obvious.
Today I've pulled the upgraded components from the Hf circuit but still have nothing.
Using a continuity test its all good up to the main cap and after back to the terminal.
I do get a bleep from both terminals so assume thats the parallel resistor.
I'm at a loss as to why its gone completely dead.
Anyone got ideas how to check the network front to back with only a basic multimeter?
Thanks in advance if someone has some ideas
Regards Ian

I believe you can add photos to your post now, but haven't tried. You can also post photos at https://systems.audiogon.com/

what is the brand and model of your speaker? To post pictures, go to https://systems.audiogon.com/ Click the "Create system" on the top menu bar, then type in a system name and you can start add images to it. |
This is example of why one should take photos, more photos and more photos of any equipment one working on. You cannot have too many pictures. If OP took photos prior and wired up exactly the same, only fried components could account for failure. Hand drawn schematic good back up. Also, get value of components in photos if possible.
When I did my last crossover mods, I took tons of photos, got stuck in middle of mods, luckily found the single photo that was at proper angle to see hidden wire. |
