    Default Interchangable CAPS on a speaker XO

    Does anyone know of a simple solution that allows a quick "drop-in" of a specific capacitor in a speaker XO so that fast and easy comparison can be made.

    Thanks

    How do you mean exactly? Do you mean physically quick? You could soder (or even screw) crocodile clips to the experimental capacitor but at least one leg of the one it replaces would have to be cut.

    Two pin plug with cap wired across and a matching socket on the crossover board.

    A little like the mechanism on the paradise boards when altering cartridge loading.

    If there's enough space it would be easy to solder (with robust wires) a section of veroboard to the x-over, and hard wire a couple of Croc clips or terminal blocks to that, clip and cable tie the caps to the veroboard, then play at your leisure.
