Well, my wife went and blew the crossovers (and apparently the woofers) in my Paradigm 5seMKIII's a month or so ago. Well I finally got around to ordering parts and setting time aside to recap the darn things. I have some pictures I will try to post, they may be huge, but I tried to get some close ups.
I think I may have pushed the limits, but I ended up replacing the cheap-o- electrolytic caps with some Dayton poly caps. Talk about squeezing 10lbs of sh*** in a 5 lb can!! Anyway, after rebuilding and hooking back up, I discovered the woof's are bad too. (I hooked up a spare 5 1/2" for my SDA's in place of the 8" and, worked like a charm. (May have been the woof's all along, I forgot to check, but it did give me the excuse to upgrade the crossovers
)
Anyhow, now I am on the search for a pair of 8" Paradigm woofers. Most likely will switch to something more current. Not sure which ones to get yet. Been checking out online, but so many freaking choices. Trying to match performance AND size is a bitch!
Anyhow, I am going to post pics separate so you can see the difference. I am pretty happy with my work, for the novice that I consider myself to be (at least compared to most of you!)
