Building crossovers


I have a pair of Magnepan .7 and would like to upgrade the crossovers. Does anybody know where I can have this done. Just build the crossovers I will install.

Yep, as said above use the same values and quality components. I like path resistors. hook the ground wire to your black terminal. I used Mundorf in my crossover and it got expensive. but with only one cap go for a good one, silver, gold oil.

I’d probably leave the fuse out (just replace with straight wire) has it ever blown? I think a lot of people take the fuse out of their Magnapans but I’ve never owned a pair so I’m not sure.

And I’d rewire. I used Duelund tinned copper cotton with excellent results.

Edit to add:  since you only have one capacitor, it probably feeds the bass.  but if it does feed the mids or highs, add a duelund bypass cap, .1mF in paralle.  It will cost $50 to $100 per channel.   If it is in the bass feed, then don't bother.
