Greetings,
Working on a pair of NX-Studios. Could you please confirm my crossover is correct?
Thanks in advance

Looks good. Just make sure to have the inductors orientation at a 90°.

I hope I’m not gonna make an idiot out of myself, but you mean like this?

You were good to turn it up on its side but rotate the small inductor 90° so it is perpendicular to the large inductor. That will cause the least interference between the two.

I am going to use this tread to document a crossover assembly. I'll cover some do's and don'ts and try to make it as easy as possible to follow.

In this example I am going to be assembling the crossovers for Guys V-2's. This pair, along with a bunch of other stuff is going to Vietnam.

I will update this as time permits and as work progresses on the build.

The first thing is to figure out the space available for the crossover. In this case the crossover is mounted on the back side of the speaker, in plain view, right below the open baffle coaxial driver.







The space for the crossover leaves plenty of room for a crossover board that is 7.5" by 8.75". This gives plenty of room for layout without crowding.

More coming....

I wonder if these missing pictures will ever be replaced? I have read this entire thread, and it looks like they have been absent for at least a few years.  :(

Unfortunately not. Those images were tied to the old website and became unavailable in October of 2020 when the old site was replaced.

We still have a few things to try that might allow them all to be seen on the new server.

Good evening,

I am just verifying that the crossover looks correct before I solder, the crossover is for an NX Studio.

Thank you, Kelly

I am using a heat gun about the size of a hair dryer with two reducers in it.  I still feel like the heat gun is getting heat everywhere in addition to where I want it.  When trying to heat up the heat shrink for tube connectors in cabinets, and heat shrink on speaker tabs, the surrounding items are getting too much heat.   Are folks just shrinking heat shrink with the soldering iron itself or a lighter? Or?

I use the same type of heat gun, I just keep it on lowest setting, but I have never used it inside of a cabinet. I have used the soldering iron in close proximity to shrink the tube a bit more. I don’t see an issue just keep it moving slow and steady with out touching. They do make a heat gun for that application it has a smaller nozzle and has a cowling that goes around the heat tubing and circulates the hot air with minimal dispersion of the really hot air.

Hope that helps.
