You've seen my previous project using this Alto TX210 where I used a guitar speaker and improvised this enclosure into a guitar speaker cab. But I was not very happy with it. So now I decided to convert it into a passive FRFR speaker.
Again I asked chatGPT for help and I bought most of the stuff on ebay second-hand. I bid and won the Celestion TF1020 woofer. I also bought the Alto HG00428 replacement tweeter. Plus I bought a QTX passive 2-way crossover 3khz 4/8 ohms. And I ordered on Amazon a resistor 4.7 ohms 10 watts to protect the tweeter.
I had to remove the glued cover for the tweeter horn and subwoofer ports. Replaced the speaker. The QTX passive crossover was a mismatch in terms of size. So I had to drill holes so I can screw it in the enclosure. Soldered the wires with wiring spades. Trouble was that the connectors are very much wider than my female spades so I had to stretch it and just forced it to fit.
My first try, it did not make any sound. I don't know if it was loose wiring or when I was putting it all back together, may be I hit a wire or one of the wirings got disconnected. I opened it again and by accident because of the massive speaker and its weight, it slipped off my hand and the wires got pulled. I reconnected them all except for the tweeter. And it worked. Then, I connected the tweeter again and it was fine. So i closed it up and tested it with my Vox MV50AC.
It sounded good. Im now waiting or bidding for Harley Benton GPA100 to be my amp for this project.
