    Peavey SP5 Speaker Crossover.

    Greetings. Having an issue with extremely low output to tweeter. Replaced driver and fuze. As far as I can tell every component has relatively low ohms and no opens. I only use the speakon connection. Woofer operation is OK. Tried tweeter on woofer connection and sounded fine. Jumped the resetting fuze, no difference.
    Considering speakers are 20+ years old (MADE IN USA) and been through hell and back I really can not complain.
    Redid a few years back with Eagles influence.
    Any information would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you for your time.

      *UPDATE: Started jumping and the one cap gave me back my tweeter, so I guess slightly bad cap?
      Can someone help me with the correct nomenclature for a replacement please?

          Yep, it’s the cap. These aren’t regular caps, these are non polarized audio capacitors. 250V, 2uF. Like this

              Thank you for the response.
              Would this be the ticket?

                  Yes that would work.

                      Peavey PV23XO Crossover Repair and Enhancement
                      by clearchris
                      This crossover was bought new about 12 years ago, and has probably been powered on for at least 3/4 of that time. It also has a recently developed horrible sound on the second channel, sometimes it's a wub-wub-wub, sometimes it's just a hum that comes and goes. It's not noticable if something is playing (it may be gone), but it's quite noticable if there is silence.

                      Because of age and problems it's due for a recap. I'm also strongly considering putting in sockets to potentially replace the 12 ST TL072 opamps. For such a small device, it's still going to be over 30 screws to take...

                      Boston Acoustics HD8 – build quality impressions & DIY woofer surround repair
                      by momaka
                      Boston Acoustics fans, this thread might not be for you.
                      A few years back (~2018 time frame), I picked up a set of free JVC speakers from someone on Craigslist that no one seemed to be interested in. The guy also had a single Boston Acoustics HD8 speaker – yes, just one cabinet. He said he had no idea where he got this one from or why it's only by itself. But like the JVC speakers, it was going to get tossed at the end of that week… so I came to collect, as usual. And that's all I know about this HD8. After all, I figured why not take it and see what's inside… show it to the...

                      Need Help Identifying Parts on a crossover and a few other newbie questions
                      by UL161
                      Hi I am trying to refurbish this crossover with some higher quality poly-caps/parts... The speaker is a in-wall Polk 65-RT... Key questions I have are:

                      1) What in the world is the yellow part on the board (label is MET 1.0J 100V)?... Should I even consider replacing it?
                      2) The 470uF cap.... Does anyone know have a suggestion as to where I can find a reasonable audio quality polycap near that value? (or at least 3 160s or the like?) { I don't want to spend $70 just to replace this one if I can) (maybe even someone looking at this circuit could even tell if this cap is important...

                      Philips F9217L-50R speakers – build quality impressions and DIY surround repair
                      by momaka
                      More Lo-Fi speakers and another DIY surround repair. The patient this time: a pair of Philips F9217L-50R speakers from a budget Philips rack/component system from the '80's. The system belongs to my brother in-law… or actually his parents. However, they didn't want it when they moved houses and he liked it anyways, so he ended up keeping it. It's a pretty cool-looking vintage system with a wood/veneer cabinet and shelves for records and cassettes. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to take a picture of it or get the model #'s (but maybe next time I visit, if anyone is curious?)

                      LTO PS 4LA Powerred Speakers - Tweeter Audio Low
                      by willis6732
                      Hello, I have two of these speakers with the same Prioblem. The tweeter volume is very low. I believe it happened after running them too loud.


                      There is a lightbulb on the tweeter output i tried shorting and no change.

                      The tweeters measure 6 ohms and it seems to play loud if i plug them into an alternate amplifier

                      There are a couple resistors and diode getting really hot in the mute circuit...

                      At the bottom left of image. R17 gets the hottest. Over 70 deg C
                      Z1 and R7 next to that get hot as well. Zener tests ok
                      I measured the...
