I don't understand this comment. The tweeters are in the images.


Most of what I listen to is of CD quality or better on a DAC. Some albums and reel to reel as well. I have low power tube amps. Although the tweeters are said to be fragile, I remember reading that one guy had them in his nightclub for years under serious duty without issue. I certaintly won't crank these real hard. Thank you

Don't believe everything you read

Picked up these little guys over the weekend. They are loaded with 601Cs. I guess I'll be using the 601Ds for the woofers. One way to preserve the tweeters. lol

I took apart one of my 3000E crossovers. Can't post a picture to save my life. From the computer they are too big and from onedrive it comes up with some gibberish. The pink object in the image is the back of the attenuator.

edit: I guess that 4uF capacitor isn't helping the tweeters longevity.

Thanks! Pink image? All I see is a wiring diagram. Need to get it added to Dropbox.

Finally figuring out how to post images.Here are a couple screen grabs. The driver is standing on end with the microphone 1 foot away. The source is the soundcard on my Macbook. Full range is the woofer. The extended frequencies are the tweeter.

They aren't opening for me...Do you use a photo hosting site ? Like Flickr ? Flickr is still free, and you can choose a wide variety of sizes or resolutions.. The attach image function here isn't all that great and it is limited to a few images.. If you need some assistance with the image posting here let me know and I would be happy to help out...

I'm hosting them on Microsoft OneDrive. I pull down the insert image, from URL, uncheck the remote file and reference locally,paste the URL in the box, then the image doesn't post.

I also tried [IMAGE]https://photos.onedrive.com/photo/F0C2534F6A8C4620!sca86004237f246cd83664facadc3fcd6 ?view=all[/IMAGE]
