Review on uxcell 2 Pack 180W High Low 2-Way Audio Crossover Filter for Frequency Division by Ryan Marx

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Chinese factory build quality we all know and love

The inductors and capacitors in this thing are real beef. A really nice sip when you put it on the table. Everything is clearly labeled in regular screen printing in both English and Chinese, and if you have experience soldering on industrial grade ground planes you will have no problem. However, you will be soldering bare, unpolished copper. At least a double ended soldering iron is a must. It would be better to have one with the soldering already done, but I understand that this is a stock mainly destined for speaker production in Shenzhen, they are destined to move to another factory. The supplied and installed nylon bushings were good. It would be even better if they included 4 packs of screws. Again this is the work of another factory and this is not a kit this is a part. Finally sound. I mean yeah it's a crossover. Let's face it, we're all here because we found or inherited old grandma's speakers, and a simple tweeter to tweeter just doesn't fit today's multimedia. The real question is how long will these Shenzhen capacitors last? What is their hourly rating? What is their expiry date? The capacitors I removed have been in these speakers for 50 years. I guess if they can't stand another 50 I can always spend another 20 bucks.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Modern
