bigredishott Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 What do you guys think about using, infinity reference series x-overs on the kappa perfects? I still have my old set of speakers, reference components. I have one of them hooked up that to my Onkyo tx-sr706, in my living room it still sound great. Also, the reason the mid-bass was sounding bad, the glue failed where the spider meets up with the cone. when youraise the cone to a certain level, it the spider seperates, and makes a pop sound. I am gonna attempt to repair. Any suggestions on epoxy or glue?

Soulman07 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 mmm No way to test it with a DMM really. If you can find out the part that's damaged you can order a replacement from part-express.com and solder it on there. Could be a cap or a coil... Pretty simple fix really.

Boon Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 CA glue to repair the speaker. Sign of over-excursion though, turn up your high-pass filter on the mids, if you're running them full-range off a PDX150 you're always going to thrash them. Crossovers, that inductor looks toast, the enamel between the wires has probably melted too which will be why your midbass sounds poo. Quote 10.x volts fo' life!

thehoe92 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I have heard a lot of kappas mid bass blow even with not that much power on them. being at 2 ohm more distortion gets involved causing more heat.

bigredishott Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I have heard a lot of kappas mid bass blow even with not that much power on them.being at 2 ohm more distortion gets involved causing more heat. They are kappa perfects 4 ohms. I wouldn't really say its blown, Just in need of a lil glue. (the x-overs are shot though) I hope the kappa don't go bad though, like you say. I have 2 sets, just waiting for free money, to glass the door panels add the 2nd set. (try to glass the door panel LOL). Will be pretty much be my 1st time glassing, except reinforcing a box. (never sanded or painted them) Anyways, I hope I can get them fixed, and get a set of x-overs. I will throw them in the rear deck, for fill. I am also, thinking bout glassing that up too, the rear deck. Mtgrooves, any luck on x-overs? If not thanks for lookin. I also have turned on my hi-pass, on deck and amp, before installing the plain old kappas. I also turned the amp way down. CA glue, where would I get this stuff? I have heard of it on here a few times before, and is that the name? CA glue or is that short for something else? Thanks everyone!
