JBL L220 Labor of Love

[Giovanni68]

Hello Pete,

first and foremost thank you again for your reply and suggestion, sure, I will try and get some foam once I get to Napoli and replace those slices floating therein...

Pete I would have liked to contact you privately not to make of your thread my thread but it seems I have not enough permissions to send private messages and as such apologise me if I occupy your space but since I need to work on my crossovers I need your help to find out about caps and resistors to be replaced, actually one of the two speakers sound is not as loud as the other and then the networks job is almost a priority.

I found out the unmarked cap on the midrange should be a 3mF one, for all the others I have the values as by the JBL N220 specs, what I miss is the Voltage, some are marked 100V but I didn't look at the big yellow ones (the standing ones to make it simpler to identify them) what their Voltage should be and also what kind of caps should I look for, I am no tech at all, can use a soldering station and a tester but that's almost all... polyester, electrolytic... which ones are the right ones?

I know you had to couple two to match the right value for three of them, would you mind sharing which ones and what did you get to reach the right value?

Also, do you think resistors is a must-do or could I start with capacitors to bring them back to life and then move on once I get more comfy with the welding iron?

Thank you so much Pete and apologise again to rip your space.

Have a great week end


Giovanni
