First time poster but been lurking for awhile. I own a pair of 846A Valencias. I love the speakers but want to upgrade the crossovers or have someone rebuild the existing ones. I popped open one of the cans, and the inside is just a mess. I am weighing having someone pull apart (and rebuild) what is in the cans versus an upgraded crossover (from scratch).
I am having some difficulty finding information regarding a schematic for this speaker. The only schematic I have been able to find relates to the model 19, which used an 8 ohm driver (811) and crossed it over at 1200 hz. My Valencias have a 16 ohm driver with the 811.
I have read different things about where the Valencias were crossed over. Did the Valencias cross over the 416/811 combo at 800hz or 1200hz? Given the smaller size of the Valencia cabinet (and the inferior porting of the A model), would crossing over the combo at 1200 leave a hole? Anyone know of a schematic? What ohm model of the 416 did the Valencias use?
Appreciate any help. Much thanks in advance.
Carl.
