Review on Enhanced SEO: Set of 2 130W 2-Way Speaker System Crossover Filters for Audio Frequency Distribution by uxcell by Erik Haynes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great sound solution!

I bought these as a less expensive alternative to a pair of Dayton crossovers I bought from Parts Express. I needed to make a pair of working speakers from an EPI 100 kit (Harmon International Management's Model 3, which is widely considered the worst of the EPI 100 series. I've never heard of previous models, but Model 3 really wasn't very much good Only big black boxes.) I bought in 1990. The woofer surround is rotten and I don't even remember what happened to the tweeters (probably cone type, like the 3 EPI 70 model from the same year). ) or crossover, probably again the same as in the 70's, which are just 2 capacitors (?), hot glued to the back of the plastic connector plate. I bought some 1" dome tweeters, some 8" woofers and some really big PE capacitors (same values as the original EPI 100 model). Put everything together and the speakers started working. The bass was pretty good, but the highs were very bright and barely audible. What I didn't understand was the difference in sensitivity between woofer and tweeter. I ordered $3,000 crossovers for $26 (each) from PE hoping it would help. They sounded better, but they still didn't listen, and certainly not at the price they're worth. When I saw these Uxcells I realized that for the price and the positive reviews they should work. And they did a lot better than Dayton. They couldn't solve the problem caused by different speaker sensitivity, but somehow they sounded much smoother and clearer now, and those old speakers were now audible. I have since learned that L shaped spacers are needed to loosen the tweeter plane to solve the problem. Then I read a great review (The Real Deal), bought another pair of these Uxcell crossovers and installed them in a pair of Polk T-15s as he mentioned and these crossovers completely changed the Polk from sounding good but with a lot specific crossover problems. down to a pair of really great speakers considering the price. Filter. I've since bought another pair for my other Polk T-15/s. I've also tried them in EPI 70 and Sony SS-MB100H with the same great results. I wanted to install a pair of Sony SS B1000 speakers on it, but I couldn't remove the woofers,

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak
