A7-500 Dividing Network/Crossover

[Monte Verdi]

Hello, I would like to say I am glad to be here amongst those of like minds. I am a new member of this forum and have questions about the crossover in my A7's.

1. What are the capacitor values in the N500D dividing network/ crossover?
Mine are ganged in a creme colored box and tarred. :

Drivers are 16 ohm 802D and 416A.
Any reccomendations on caps are welcome, I was thinking of experimenting with Mundorfs, Russian Pio or Teflon.

Thanks!

Monte

Help from Serenechaos on DIY forum came up with the following equation.

first order 500hz xover for 16 ohm would be ~5.09 mHy coil & 19.89 (20) uF cap
L1 (mHy) = (1000 x Impedance) / (6.283 x Crossover Frequency)
C1 (µfd) = 1,000,000 / (6.283 x Impedance x Crossover Frequency)

if it is first order, and is 500hz, that's what's in there.
or take it out & measure it.

I'd by-pass a piece at a time & listen though.

bad caps or inductors would sound bad, yes.
some things may not sound "like Altec."

Thanks, Robert!
