Anthonyv62 Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) Been a longtime visitor and occasional participant going back to 2002-2003. Haven't posted much over the years because I've ALWAYS found answers to my questions elsewhere on this website and the informative discussions. Looking at AR-4X wiring diagrams, and countless photos of their crossovers, the yellow (+) tweeter wire soldered to pot terminal B and dark green capacitor and green tweeter wires to pot terminal 2 seems to be the most common. My speakers (serial # FX74042, FX74072) have that yellow tweeter wire and dark green capacitor wires going to pot terminal 2 with the green tweeter wire soldered to terminal B. After restoring the cabinets I'm ready to hit the crossovers by replacing the badly corroded original potentiometers with correct L-pads and new Dayton capacitors. Is it better to wire the crossover according to AR-4X wiring schematics or wire them like my originals? Happy Holidays!

RoyC Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 I recommend staying with the wiring in your cabinets. AR polarity is always an adventure. Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthonyv62 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Thanks for the advice, RoyC. That's pretty much what I was thinking as well. They always sounded good so I'll stick with the original wiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
