I have just come across a Jadis JF-1 tubed 2-way crossover for the wrong price so decided to pick it up and try it out - especially as it was reputedly specifically built for my 4-way speakers.I would welcome specific and generic help.
Questions:
Has anyone ever used a JF-1? Anyone have a manual they'd be willing to scan/email or copy and send to me? I'd happily reimburse all associated costs.I am wondering how to hook everything up. I have never used an active crossover. I hope it is as easy as it looks. I will use my existing monoblocks to power the woofers. I am going to temporarily borrow another stereo amp to drive the mids/tweeters before finding the next amp (was hoping to land a nice pair of 845 monos I just saw on auction but they skyrocketed with 3mins to go - Aaargh!).
I am currently assuming that I should run the pre into the Jadis crossover, two pairs of outs to two amps (or sets of amps), then run speaker cables from respective amps to 1) the bass amp to the bass speaker wire (which currently attaches to the external crossover), and 2) the mid/high amp to the set of three connectors (which currently attach to the external crossover) which I will bunch together and connect to the speaker cable y-plug using nuts and bolts (because the wires from the drivers to the currently used external crossover have weird "o-shaped" connectors suggesting currently attached to the crossover using nits and bolts).
Am I missing anything here?
Thanks in advance.
