I want to rebuild the crossovers in the RAZZ. The boards I have were from a prototype that I have upgraded as changes were made like the recent inductor upgrade.
I never liked the construction techniques originally used and accepted them because it was a prototype that I purchased at a very low price.
The drivers have never changed.
It is the wiring that has me concerned.
There are four types of connections.
14ga solid copper to 14ga stranded
14ga solid copper to 14ga solid copper
14ga stranded to 14ga stranded.
The padding resistors need to be easily removable and originally the leads were just wrapped around metal screws and tightened down against a ring terminal crimped to a 14ga stranded wire to the rest of the crossover. I need to find high-quality ring terminals for the resistors and make a good quality connection to the rest of the crossover.

There are many ways to "skin this cat." You can create your own custom PC boards, or use perforated boards, or (my favorite) use turret boards.
