OK, here's the part where I need help. In another thread here, I've been getting some great advice on upgrading my Model 19 crossovers. I plan on upgrading both pair of Model 19 crossovers--starting with one speaker--and once I do an A/B comparison to verify an improvement, then I'll do the other three Model 19's. Well, the thought occurred to me that my Model 14's aren't much younger than either pair of Model 19's and those crossovers could probably be upgraded with new caps etc. as well. I scoured the net and can't find a schematic for the Model 14 Crossovers anywhere. Does anyone have or know where I can find a crossover schematic for the Model 14's? These are the home version of the Altec 9842 Studio Monitors--exact same drivers and crossover in a similarly tuned cabinet. So, if anyone has a schematic for the crossover used in the Altec 9842 Studio Monitors--it's the same as the Model 14 crossover (Bowtie, do you have a pair of 9842's?).
Also, does anyone know if these crossovers would benefit from bypassing the ground lugs (connecting them with a wire) like people are doing with the Model 19 crossovers? Here's a closeup shot of the crossover (click to enlarge)......
In this photo I count what appear to be 7 (ground?) lugs--does anyone know if these should be connected with wire (or is it possible to tell from the photo?)? Thanks in advance again for any help/schematics anyone out there can give me on this upgrade.....
