I am ready to order parts for the above but am not sure of the DCR values for the inductors. They are not specified on the schematic. I plan to use quality air cores.
The internal wiring for the drivers is 20 gauge, rather thin I believe. These speakers are used at relatively low volume settings sometimes with my 8 wpc SET amp and sometimes with my Hegel 250 wpc ss amp.
I will use 10w wire-wound resistors because that's what is in my OEM crossover. I am considering upgrading the internal cabinet wiring to either 18 gauge or 16 gauge. My inclination would be to pick inductors with the same AWG. Of course that alters the DCR value which is why I'm asking for advice here.
Note: the OEM inductors are iron core and the wire leads look to be 20 gauge.
Opinions and suggestions please!
Many thanks, Fred
