Hi Lexi, take your question to the DIYAudio/ multi-way forums. I Think this speaker and the failings with it's crossover have been documented there.

Infinity crossovers were arrived at very experimentally. Kind of a miracle they made sound to my eyes. :) :) :)

If they had the tools we have today with measurement and simulation I'm sure they would have been done differently.

Best,


Erik

I think to Tim's point, if you get into an Infinity it is not worth it to try and replace parts here and there. They need a modern crossover re-think. Whether you purchase from some one who has done the work for you, or do it yourself, a white paper design is the way to go.
