Jordos Statement build!!

[Jordo]

ah ok that method, yes i can check that easy enough, but the thing is i am pretty sure i got it right, but i am going to check tonight for sure, just in case.

Just a quick follow up, Asi and Greg were powering the Statements with a 35 watt amp during their listening session. If the crossover wiring, polarity and all the connections are going to the right places, then it has to be an amp setting. It should have more than enough power.

Here are my crossovers EXACTLY how I have them wired on the board







I also played with my amp settings some more, turns out because of the audyssey setup, the front speakers were set to -4.5db. I changed that and that helped alot. I changed the impedance setting to 4 ohms on the amp and that gave it a bit more juice, they definitely sound like they should now and it seems to fill the room with sound easier than my JBL's. I also check the wiring of the speakers and it all looked proper.

[Jim Holtz]

Tracing crossovers isn't my greatest strength but all looks well except that there is a 3.9 uF cap missing in the woofer circuit that parallels with the 56 uF cap to create the 60 uF cap spec'ed in the crossover. I'm not sure what effect that would have but it would impact the crossover.

doh.....i did get the parts and thought they messed up the order, wow that just never clicked.....ok i will fix that up asap.

Jim,

"ohm cap" should be "micro Farad cap" (uF). I know that's just a typo, misstatement, or slang? ... I'm just pointing that out so that some members don't get confused.

Hi John,

Well DUH! Sorry about that. You are absolutely correct. A hard day at work. ops:

Thanks for catching the error and I will correct it.

Awesome! Glad it worked out for you!

[---k---]

Glad you got the fixed. It is scary how good they can sound when there are problems, and how much better they can sound when they are perfect.

Where is your Statement Center Channel speaker . That's next, right :T.

[Jordo]

Yeah I am definitely going to be doing the centre channel and surrounds next, but since winter is on its way in a month or 2, im going to wait till next spring to jump into any more projects, probably just spend the winter painting the statements.
