gseimetz Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I'm rebuilding a set of AR 2AX speakers. I'm very impressed by the use of 3/4" plywood (without checks) and the over-all craftmanship in the AR design.I plan on replacing the pots and the Caps in the Cross-Over - that's where I need some help. The Cap is made by Industrial Condenser Corp, the same brand that was used in a pair of AR 3as I restored with a twist. This Cap has three wires:- Green 6 MFD going to mid pad- Blue going to Term 1 and to a coil connected to the blue woofer lead on the other end.- Black 4 MFD goes to the tweeter PADI was assuming the replacement would take two Caps (one 6 MFD and one 4 MFD), but I'm kind of confused by the three lead placement. Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated. I could always replace the Pads and leave the Cap "as is" but I would rather replace it (or them) while I'm in ther current stage of the project.Thanks in advance.Glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ozmoid Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Glen, you do need 2 caps to replace the original. The blue wire will be common to both caps, they will attach like a "Y". The 6uf cap to green, and the 4uf cap to black.AR used a cap that had two taps, one at 6uf and one at 4uf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gseimetz Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Thanks for the reply - I'll order new caps. I've stripped and sanded the cabinets - can't wait to stain them next weekend. Thanks again!glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
