Twisting the wires causes added capacitance, better to keep them as far apart as possible. Changing the value from 7.2Ω to 7.0Ω will move your phase angle, but that small a change will more likely than not be negligible in terms of number of degrees.
I'm using the same speaker. I took it apart to change the speaker color. Can I know the name of the component that was replaced? Thank you for the information. I'm not good at listening because I'm Korean.
@손익상 - Hello! The types of components in a speaker crossover are resistors, inductors, and capacitors. If you are looking to change the parts in the crossover, I would recommend buying new high-quality parts for each. In this case, Mills brand resistors, air core inductors, and film capacitors. I hope this helps and thank you for watching!
your tweeter network is wrong. A C-L 'network' in parallel with the tweeter makes no sense. If I look at the back of the PCB, I can see that the 2 blue polycaps are in series with the tweeter to form a third order electrical network with the air core inductor shunting to ground. This is a fairly standard approach for better phase tracking between the 2 drivers at crossover region. With this budget, an engineer placing a poly parallel to a tweeter would probably be fired
i have these speakers ..... at med to high volume one speaker rattles/vibrates (when playing electronic drumbeat) and seems to gulp in air from the back port, the vibration is loud listening from the port but audible from the front too.... i have disasembled it but can see no issues at all........... any advice thx
@NDF - That’s a tricky one. Maybe check if the crossover is tightly fastened down. I noticed on mine that larger inductor was broken loose from its glue. It could also be a failing voice coil? But that’s unlikely because you’d hear some distinct distortion. It’s hard to say because I haven’t heard them but my best advice would be to make sure everything is screwed and secured down tightly. Thank you for commenting, hope this helps!
@@Casey_Schmidt So i unscrewed the back where the crossover/speaker terminals are and of course everything is tight and looks new....i thought the extra gulping of air thru the back port (compared to the other atom) would be a big clue, but i am a rookie when it comes to speakers :( i sent paradigm a email but i am out of warranty....boooo but they might have some info (probably replace the woofer!!! or try to sell me new speakers!!!) how do you get the woofer out of the plastic enclosure (the spider???) thx again
@NDF - If the woofer is bad, it would probably be more cost effective to buy a replacement driver from eBay or another pair. Because the woofer basket and everything is molded into the facia, it would be extremely difficult to repair it with replacement parts. Try looking up videos about what blown woofers sound like to see if you have similar symptoms.
Nice to see the guts. I have the Titan v6 great speakers!!

The capacitance increase is extremely small, (

I have the same issue! I think it’s a failing voice coil. Mine produces the noise from 200hz-140 ish
The enclosure is 3/4" mdp (medium density particleboard), not mdf
@Renato Gomes - Indeed, but in practice they are virtually synonymous; especially from the perspective of the end user.
