Modifying Crossovers


I just read a post about changing resistors and caps in the new Borresen X3 speakers. I am curious why there is interest in changing the components in a brand new speaker. I also am curious if it would make them better than why didn’t the designers put a better component in the first place. Just a thought and scratching my head. Have a great day.

@lemonhaze My good will stands but it sounds like you know more about upgrading crossovers than I do.  My component choices were educated guesses based on manufacturer reputations, online reviews, and respected opininions of a good friend.

I have them both built and plan to cut out the walnut box and maybe get it glued together today.

@vair68robert The before crossovers are still installed.  I pulled them out enough to sketch a wiring diagram and reverse engineer them.  Here are a couple of photos (i use google photos, would appreciate any advice on how to get a preview to show).

I'm obviously combining them onto one board.
