AR-8 xover


HarryM

Recommended Posts

I opened up my AR-8 "rock" speaker to see what caps and resistors I needed to order and was surprized to find 2 3 ohm 10% resistors and 1 large sprague compulytic cap 10uf-50vnp,10% cap.I searched for a xover schematic but couldn't find one.Is this original.

I was also wondering,since the AR-8 is considered to be not very good sounding,has anybody done any mods on these.

Thanks,Harry.

Just thought I'd update this.I didn't change anything on the xovers.Carlspeak posted about testing the bigger sprague compulytic caps and said that mine should be good.After fixing one woofer and borrowing a tweeter from my AR-25's and making sure the boxes were sealed well i hooked them up to the Marantz.I would say Carlspeak is right.I don't hear anything that tells me something isn't right.They work great at high volumes and at low to mid volumes they sound really good with my AR-28s's.
