Solen MKP....hmmmm how does it sounds????? I found that Solen sounds so 'regular'....but better than cap xxx caps....you need to add up some spices to it to see its potential.....IMHO

BTW how much you got the 6.8uF per pcs. ???

I am going to australia next month and probably get some more Jantzen cross caps. Chua interested in some more? or you have enough already.

I have solen mkps new and some slightly used
6.8uf
4.7uf
3.3uf
even though i feel the solens are very underated and are very neutral, I would go for jantzen, crosscaps I am starting to like them more and more now.

here is a link to a very good value DIY shop in Singapore.

Thanks Bro..

If i connect my active subwoofer from speaker terminal, itz ok?

arh I have never tried using an active sub off the speaker cable.
I think it would be better if you tapped into the pre-out if you have one. anyone else happy to share some experiences with this

Thank you...Indeed I heard that Solen is the entry level for a x-over caps...better sounding starts with jantzen, mundorf, auricap bla bla bla that rated as audiophile caps...if you willing to bare the cost go ahead.....

chefsinc67 you have some used/new solen 6.8uF....!!!! are you gonna put that on used sale item...???

Ask Chef for the items. u wont find this price at the shops in PJ.

Well I'm asking him leh...hope there's a reply...

I try using preout, but the sound is not as good as i using connection from amp output.

Any1 can share with me....

minimum order for 4 caps. any 2 of each value

the solen caps below : -

1. 2x6.8uF = RM 30
2. 2x4.7uF = RM 26
3. 2x3.3uF = RM 24

prices are inclusive of shipping.

chefsinc67, this is the price for new or used and will you consider taking 2 caps only?

My opinion is buy more and keep, never know when u need more. for new unit, u will need to run in.

any1 got DIY Crosover for sell?

Handbuilt already or parts so you can assemble?

I have numerous handbuilt series croosvers built specifically for certain speaker parametres and models. this is a bit of a science so one crossover that sounds good on certain brand of drivers, doesnt mean it will sound good on another type of driver.
please elaborate on what you want and what you want to achieve. then you need to get the driver parametres and then design the crossover based on all thiel/small parametres of the drivers, the box they will sit in etc.

Added on February 28, 2009, 10:04 amso Chua, whats the verdict any feedback on the series crossover? remembering of course that it was designed for different drivers than what you have so probably will not fit in with your speakers but it is always fun to try these things.
anyway it is a good base to start of with and then your feedback we can change the caps and inductors to suit the sound your looking for.

by the way I am leaving for australia tomorrow and will be back in KK on the 15th then in KL for a morning shopping at the shop we met on the 29th March to get a few more goodies. always running out of that orange hook up wire so I will get 10 metres this time i think....

cheers and keep in touch.

Im wan to try something for my center speaker. Or anything cheap or secondhand? i wan to start from bottom..

Hi chefsin67,

Reading through this thread, you seem quite knowlegable.

Could you have a look at this series schematic and comment if it can be improved



It's actually built for home but tweaked for car use.

the tweeter would be Hiq OW1 and the mids would be seas w18nx

I would like the voicing to be more thick. That's about it.

maybe if we could communicate via mail or such to make it easier.

Do PM me

Thanks
