    Unhappy ploc sound with new caps !

    Hello

    I change the capacitor on my handmade xover for 43xx which were 25 years old ( new dayton on medium , hf , uhf )

    works good but when I start on the amp , I can hear a "ploc" sound on the right speaker .
    when I turn off and wait only 15 seconds : no ploc .

    Thre must be something wrong but I do not know where to go ; I just test the continuity of caps and it's ok ( I am not technical aware ! )

    Thank you for information.

    Gerard

    - Was is Das ,,, "ploc" ?

    - What do you mean by "ploc" ?

    - Is it just a onetime pop ? or is it a more continous sound ?

    - If the amp is left on - does it continue to "ploc" ?

    - Are you sure that you rewired everything , correctly ?

    - If one side is good / then swap the 2 networks around / to see if the problem is actually in the network .

    Well it sounds like a "ploc" or "tac" very short and only once at medium level .

    when the amp is on I just have it once on the start of the amp ...

    I already check up but I will check again .....

    Make sure you try swapping the networks from one box to the other - to see where the problem goes .

    It sounds to me like more of an amplifier problem. What happens if you switch sides? Does it stay with the speaker or go with the amp?

    hello

    In fact I test each speaker and there is a small "ploc" on left and a bigger one on the right but apart this ploc on the beginning it works perfect for me ...

    I'll switch the map output the afternnon .

    regards
