Hey guys, I know this is a little older, but proven design and since I already had all the parts for the InKhaneatos (surrounds), I pulled the trigger and ordered all the parts. Of course, the older shielded drivers are NLA and that shouldn't prove to be an issue using the non shielded drivers as they are basically drop in replacements.
However, the tweeter is a different matter. The original design called for the RS28A-4, which is also NLA. PE automatically recommended the RST28A-4 as the "replacement" when I ordered all the parts. Unwittingly, I just assumed it was also a non shielded version of the original, but apparently that is not the case. So, a couple of questions:
First, has anybody used the RST28A-4 as a direct replacement for the RS28A-4 yet, and was it a drop in or did the x-over need tweaking?
Second, if I do need to tweak the x-over, where do I start? Crossover design software? Or just listen to it and see?
Because I do have a couple of the older RS28A-4's I thought about going ahead and building the cabinets and using one of each in each cabinet and do a side by side comparison to listen and quickly switch them back and forth. Does anybody have any suggestions for some sort of device like this? I wouldn't think it would be too hard, but haven't really put much thought into it just yet.
I am definitely open to all suggestions and direction that ya'll could provide, especially you crossover guru's!
Thanks,
Brad
