Sidssp,
Thanks for your post. I have a pair of 5s and it's well past time to replace the crossover batteries. I am looking forward to hearing the results.
Yesterday I replaced the batteries in the external low pass-filters. The boxes needed complete disassembly to complete the job properly. The job wasn't hard, except that the battery terminals are right next to one of the red WIMA capacitors and I had to go very slowly to make sure the soldering iron tip didn't damage the soft plastic exterior of the WIMAs.
I haven't looked at the crossover yet. Hopefully the replacement can be accomplished without too much precision work.
One thing I resolved after doing the low-pass filters: I will order the 9 volt lithium batteries for the crossover as their life expectancy is 11 years.
