Categories: Crossover Networks
Ready built loudspeaker crossover featuring a 1mm OFC high current laminated bar core inductor in the low pass section, an air core inductor in the treble section and metal film capacitors throughout - all components are bonded to the PCB to eliminate possible rattles.
This crossover has a second order (12dB/octave) Linkwitz-Riley rolloff and can be configured for 4 or 8 ohm woofers by simply moving a plug which opens up opportunities for MTM / D'Appolito designs. The treble section is designed for 8 ohm tweeters. For use in a domestic environment, power rating of 300W.
Connections are by 4.8mm faston / spade push connectors (available here: 4.8mm connectors) . Easy to surface mount inside the loudspeaker enclosure, does not need standoffs.
With a rugged 1.75mm glassfibre PCB bonded to a 4mm MDF backboard this is a very well made crossover representing excellent value for money.
Size: 170 x 115 x 40mm approx.

Been looking for a supplier of replacement drivers for some years.
Willy's HiFi had just the parts at a good price and they arrived in a couple of days.
Excellent service. Even a personal thank you hand written on the invoice.
A quick delivery and the tweeters are perfect on my mission 753 freedom speakers. Easy to fit . Highly recommend.
I’m no expert when it comes to speakers, but after some research (and a strong recommendation from ChatGPT), I went with the SB Acoustics SB65WBAC25-4 as a reference full-range speaker in this size range.
Having now tested them, I can confidently say they’re probably the best speakers I’ve ever owned. The clarity is outstanding—every detail comes through with incredible precision. The bass is surprisingly full and punchy for a speaker this size, and they handle power impressively well. For anyone looking for a high-performance compact full-range driver, these are hard to beat.
Item as described and arrived quickly - and did the job. However, I suggested that anyone replacing speaker foam makes sure they have a very large pair of sharp dressmaking scissors as it was not easy cutting to size without producing a ragged edge (which I managed to hide short of a close inspection)!
