I replaced the mids and tweets in my AR-2A speakers with AB-Tech 2AX units years ago, and just now have found this forum only to discover that I may also need to tweak the crossover.

Anyone know what crossover changes were made going from the 2A to the 2AX?

First thing we need to know: What is the 2a xover?

Building a 2ax xo is no mystery. Here are some pics of my 2ax crossover:

The xo schematic is here:

You just need 2 pots or L-pads, one 6uF and one 4uF cap and one #7 or #5 inductor coil per speaker. If you use L-pads you may want to add the resistor as shown to the mid.

Please be sure to let us know what the xo in the 2a is comprised of.

Thanks
