    This doesn't have to be complicated

    Sometimes you guys get toooo deep. This is really simple. No banners, no "classified". If I were an expert on crossovers ( of which I have asked for help, and I would certainly pay for it, but got zero response) I would simply post. "I can help members with crossovers, here's my name" OK? PM me, describe the situation, send 'em out, do the fix, pay for them on the agreed amount, get 'em back, simple, easy. If the person doing the job doesn't want to do so, then don't, if ya do, ya do. Simple. If ya want to post saying "hey I got my crossovers back and there awesome, thx to------- thats ok too. This is not to over commercial this at all, Use the KISS principle for 'cryin-out-loud.

    OK, I have 4333A's that I would like to have the crossovers updated, If there was a listing of services, I could PM the guy and find out. Doing it the old fashion way, there is no response, maybe unless you're an insider, and with my measly number of posts, I doubt it will happen. Does this make it a little clearer to the "higher powers here". Yea, I'm pissed, I've been drinkin' What say you?

    So post the question and your location and see if anyone wants to jump in.

    Good Luck.

    I guess I'm surprised you haven't received a ton of PM's offering assistance.

    In a perfect world I reckon it would be that simple...

    A lot of good responses to the original post here. I agree it's mainly a matter of searching around the forums and/or asking for help. You eventually find someone to help you or will learn who does what.

    I think everyone here knows what I do...or am trying to do!

    Quadrex should be coming soon!!!!

    Maybe a mod can move this to tech help section.

    I would help you but my time is limited with a shop that is not finished, work and this hobby of ours. I can do an upgrade on your crossovers as long as you do not want to chsnge crossover points or drivers. I do not have the test equipment to do this kind of work. If you have not found someone to do this for you by this late spring then I can help you then.

    I would think about trying to do this yourself. If you can work on bikes then you can obvioulsy work with your hands. It really is fun to do these things and then you get the satisfation of a job well done. This hobby of ours can mean we learn about many different things.

    I do realize this is a hobby for many people here, I do not have the inclination to ruin a pair of crossovers, it's much easier to pay someone that knows what there doing to get this done. Motorcycle mechanics is totally different than working on electronics and I simply do not have the time to "try it out". If I cannot get any help, I'll just leave 'em alone. Obviously, i cannot just bring 'em down to Joe Blows audio store, they would'nt know what to do with them either. So I am asking here, I'm not in a hurry, they work now. I've received zero PM's on this subject. Hence my idea for a "service section" Thank you.

    when I posted that I needed info on my woofer for the 120ti's I instantly got a pm from a member to offer to recone at a very good price and I accepted. The finished product should arrive this coming week.I think PM's from members who offer service for a fee are members who feel comfortable with their skills.Some members might have great knowledge in doing crossovers but may not feel comfortable in charging a fee..Once you charge a fee a lot of variables come into being, timeline's , guarantee's , and customer satisfaction.etc,Posting a thread on my woofer got me the exact response that I was hoping for.But more important than that, I was smart enough to post the thread in the first place,being smart is not knowing everything,being smart is knowing (where to look) for the info you need.

    I'd add that being smart is also knowing your limitations. While it is impressive when a newbie jumps in head first way beyond their knowledge and skill set, it is best to take it slowly and get help where needed.

    I have no idea why no one has jumped in to help with this crossover situation. Maybe like myself everyone is too buried with other projects at the moment.

    Good luck.

    That'd be my guess. I figure it will be around April before I can do anything new.

    April... I wish I was that far ahead! I met with my current speaker client the other day and told him it be quite a few weeks yet before I deliver his new babies... he said weeks sounds better than months. I told him that weeks added up to months and he'd see a few of those go by first...

    Plenty of time

    I'm in SD for the months of June, July, Aug and Sept. During those months my speakers sit idle. So if someone wanted to make a few $$$ and not be under ANY TIME CONSTRAINTS or PRESSURE.........Maybe the fact that no one here wants to deal with a person like me that drinks a "few too many and was pissed" could be the issue. . That's my own fault and sorry if I offended anyone, that was not my intention. Probably should'nt "drink and post". Well at least I recognize it . I still believe a service area would be appropriate. That way people like myself who don't have the expertise to tackle (and are smart enough to know there not an expert) such a project can simply go to the source rather than posting about what a person needs and hoping for a positive response. Seems way easier and more efficient than going back and forth with these needless posts.
