XO2W-3.5K
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.
I bought a pair of Dayton Audio crossovers for my Mordant Short M20's speakers, to replace the cheap stock units, and it was well worth the cost, sound staging has been transformed from a flat sound to a massive uplift in presentation, only been running for 2 hours, so I'm sure things will get even better over time once the capacitors etc bed in.
Great service once again, arrived quickly, well packed. Thank you.
Thanks for the review Colin!

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)!
