AR-4X tweeter and crossover upgrade?
Hi,
I'm looking to upgrade the tweeter and crossover on my 4X speakers. The pots are heavily damage as well. I'm hoping some of you have some recommendations on the following:
Using the HiVi Q1R tweeter as done in the AR-2AX
How should the crossover be updated?
What pots should I use?
Thanks,
Harley
Welcome Harley
The Hi-Vi tweeters you linked are great replacements for those in the AR-3a but won't work well in the 4x. The tweeter crossover in the 4x is at 2,000 Hz IIRC. The Hi-Vi's frequency response is 2,500 - 20,000.
Your best bet is to use original AR-4x tweeters. Some people (myself included) have reported some success using phenolic ring tweeters like these https://www.parts-express.com/grs-prt-8-phenolic-ring-tweeter-replacement-for-ar-4x-cts-marantz-and-more-8-ohm--270-252
