#Alk or crites crossovers forte drivers

The Krell amp is 300 8 ohm and 600 4 ohm, so 6 ohm would be ~450. I attribute that to the new 6 ohm rating of the speakers. The first thing I noticed was my normal listening positions on the volume dial were a whole lot louder than they used to be. Remembering that I replaced a 38 Y/O set of X-overs as well as every horn, driver and piece of wire, here are my first impressions.Īfter ~18 hours of break in I sat down and played some things I am very familiar with. I'm going to have to invest in some fuses. In my case, this means instead of 300W the speakers will see 450. This setup also alters the original 8 ohm rating to 6 ohms. This mid driver works fine at the K-horns low end x-over point of 400Hz. The tweeter driver is a 1' throat and the mid-range driver is a 2' throat. (Al, if I'm butchering anything in my attempt at explaining how these work, feel free to chime in).

To match everything, you can use the different tap points for these drivers that that will reduce the 108.5 to be very close to the 104 of the woofer. So in this case, the woofer is 104db 1W and both the mid and tweet drivers are 108.5 db 1W. Both the tweeter and the mid-range drivers can have their efficiency ratings slightly reduced thru the use of different tap points on the x-over. When installed, I will post pics and this will be clear. The tweeter x-over is mounted on an edge. This allows placement of the 2 long thin pieces to be on each side of the mid horn. The ALK extreme slope x-over is a 3 piece setup for the K-horn. The wooden horns are Eliptrac 400 mids and Contrac tweets from Fastlane audio. When I get one of the old K-33's out of a K-horn I will post woofer comparison pics. I am not showing a pic of the Crites cast frame woofer.
