....when I first got these speakers, I bypassed the treble pot. One tweeter didn’t work at all, the other was in and out. Worked ok then. Used the speakers in my bedroom for a while....then on to the parts / equipment room. A couple years later (having forgotten all I researched two years ago) I decide to rebuild / upgrade them. I thought that the waxy “wallet” with the wires sticking out meant that there were two capacitors used in the design. The diagram(s) I was following used two caps....one of them has 265 written on the inductor coil.. One of my speakers, I believe, has 265 written on the inductor coil (of course, the one in the picture I uploaded has a 5).....which is another reason why I thought I was in the right ballpark in my research. The two woofers in mine look very different. Serial numbers are fx343364 and fx331864. i am again having trouble uploading photos....unsure why. i will try to use the diagram posted by jkent with only the 20uf cap and see how it goes. The way I wired it this time brought out the highs. To me the tweeter sounds great....and wide range of control now with the 16 ohm / 50 watt l-pad. Woofer volume is super low....

I have the 265 coil, two capacitors in the little ‘wallet’ underneath it all. I do not have caged tweeters....or markings across the woofers. i think if I fully understood the diagram.....it will work fine. Or....maybe I followed it properly and it won’t work. Honestly not sure.... i cannot post pictures....I’ll figure out how and post some. Thanks for the response..

Passive version.....Rock Partners. They are nice. AR 18?? is the model, I believe. For their size.....they rock. 8” woofers.

Well....I see that this is an old thread, so I’ll see where this goes.... i was using these diagrams to rewire my AR 4x’s.....something went wrong. I have very little output through the woofer. However, the Tweeter livened up and I now have control (new control knob). i guess I did not understand the connections to the pot and then out to the tweeter....first. And then the placement of the 24uf capacitor..... i became frustrated put it all away a few days ago.....I would like to get back to it as soon as possible. actually was just wondering if either of these two posters are still around to help.
