<\/a><\/p>\nDear Goran,<\/p>\n
This weekend I completed the build and installation of your crossover mod 1.5 in my 685 speakers. As it was my first DIY speaker project I had a few surprises along the way, the worst of which was a stripped screw on my left speaker. But it the end I extracted the stripped screw and the modifications was successful.<\/p>\n
My initial impressions of the modification are\u00a0 favorable. The speakers seem quite balanced at the lower crossover frequency. They keep the fast, quick response that I always liked about the speakers. Also, the high treble sound from the tweeter seems much less fatiguing.<\/p>\n
There still isn’t a lot of bass when I play them on stands in my living room, but my primary use is in my music teaching studio attached to a computer and a Yamaha keyboard system. For this the added accuracy and driver integration is quite valuable.<\/p>\n
I’ve attached a few pictures from the repair, I hope you find my initial steps in diy modification a bit entertaining. I used a crossover board from Parts express, this helped my visualize the circuit. My last attempts at building circuits were from model rocketry when I was a kid, so getting the solder gun out again was a lot of fun. If you had any thoughts on how i laid out the crossover, or suggested resources for improving my skills for future projects I love to hear them. For now, I think the project was a success.<\/p>\n
I’ve sent a small donation to your website. Thanks again for your correspondence and for sharing your detailed work online. In the future I may be interested in trying one of your Dayton Audio enclosure speaker designs, I’m especially interested in the Prestigious Two Monitor DXT and may aim to make it a summer project.<\/p>\n
Best wishes,<\/p>\n
Phil<\/p>\n
