I recently replaced the capacitor and resistors in the crossover of my Continental and discovered that the next problem is that the horn tweeter is broken.
So, what to replace it with? I read a lot of discussion in the archive and indeed here that says that piezo horns are unsatisfactory.but are cheap. I'm happy to pay for a compression type if I can find one. The problem seems to me to be one of finding a horn that will slot into the space.
I could buy an off the shelf unit like a .Pyle-Pro PH391 but it is a lot bigger and would mean that I would have to cut out a slot in the cabinet to fit. I will carry on and see if I can find another of the existing size.
Alternatively, there are separate horn drivers available without the horn. They all? have a 1 inch throat. I could make an adaptorthe existing horn by an adaptor to take one of those.which would be preferable to cutting the cab..
I could also try to find a circular tweeter to substitute and blank off the rest of the slot. It would have to be a high sensitivity type.
Has anyone else tried to solve this problem? What, in detail, did you do? Any advice will be gratefully received.
