- In this video, Michael and Tim with Audio Neurotica provide an in depth tutorial on how to complete the Klipsch RF7 Dean G Crossover Mod - from disassembling the speaker, to soldering the resistor, and reassembling, this is everything you need to know. Leave any comments below about the process and what you want to see done next!
Thank you so much for posting this tutorial. Just doing the things you suggested made a major difference. I loved these speakers, but now I am IN LOVE with them. I did the same thing you did, except I just used 157mil or 4mm adhesive automotive sound dampening foam from amazon and had great results. Also gave me a chance to clean the contacts and connections. These things sound so damn good. Thank you for this walkthrough.
Ps, I learned how to solder for this project and now have the tools for it. So anyone trying to do this, don't be afraid of the soldering part. It's fairly easy once you learn the basics of soldering which I also learned on youtube haha
Czesc , zastanawiam się nad zmodyfikowaniem moich rf7 mk1, proszę powiecie jaka jest różnica w dźwięku? Czy to tylko wycisza wysokotonowy, czy zmienia zupełnie brzmienie?
Nice. very easy to understand. Those are some great speakers. I also run them for years until I bought the MK2 and still running those.
Hi! When I modify a pair speaker, I do only one and listen to both of them in a A -B comparison with a monophonic recording. I think it is a safe way to verify if the modification bring an improvement before commiting to the whole pair. Sometimes, I bring the crossover outside the cabinet and test multiple options and what works best I keep. Bye!

Need a filter to repair this
isnt that boots randolph yackety yack?
I have the set that you are demoing the mod on. And THANK YOU for letting me know about the seal that needs to be broken on the drivers! One of mine is not working. And from what I can tell there are not any that are available to sell. Can they be repaired? Thanks in advance .
What would I need to do the DeanG mod on an RC7? Would the exact same thing work?
Hello! Just what does adding the resistor do to the sound? Also will changing the caps improve the sound? I have the RF-7 made in 2002.
They are trying to fix it in the wrong way.
Thats a bad way to fix it.
Only Danny Rithchie from Gr research can fix it properly with a new crossoer design.
Thanks for your reply.
@@Gioxtream this is actual a known fix to roll of some of the high frequencies. its the cheap fix vs a whole new crossover for $1000. This is a proven fix that works
Nice video. My experience, the speaker is too big for this room.
Would this also work for the RF-7 classic? The classic has some improvements over the mk1
Hey Danny! Sorry for the delayed response and thank you for your question! Michael and I were looking in to this all weekend and couldn't confirm the difference between the MK1 and the Classic. It was our understanding that the original release of the RF7 had no nomenclature and was denoted as the "Classic" or possibly "MK1" once the MK2 was released. This mod is not for the MK2. What can you share with us about the difference between the Classic and the MK1? Where can we find this information? Thanks!
@@audioneurotica I thought they were the same. I thought goes like this: Mk1 or Classic-Mk II-MK III.

A before vs after recording would have been something. iPhone and off we go. But like this?
you never get true sound on sound clips.
For God's sake...Stop !!!! You have no idea what you're doing. Things can not be fixed that way. The Only man for that Job Is Danny Ritchie from Gr research. A legend in fixing speakers.
Give him a call...and send those brutes to him. He will fix them in the right way and make them even better. He will fix the spectral decay as well. Leave it to the pros !!!
I can only assume like you should have Aswell that this mod is supposed to make them sound better and isn't intended to compete with re doing the entire crossover by using a professional. so, if this mod makes them sound better or corrects something in the speaker design and costs a million dollars less then i guess it would have its purpose and you would be wrong in what you said by simply repeating stuff that you heard and pretending in your own head that it's meant to magically be the same as a complete new cross over.
Deang here. The mod was developed by an EE on the Klipsch forum many years ago. Since I was doing the mod for everybody, which included replacing the resistors with mills and using better capacitors - I am the one that became known for the mod. The resistor modification in the LCR reduces ringing in the cones. It was a known problem at Klipsch and after hearing my mod at a get-together in Arkansas, they asked me to bring one of the networks to Indy for testing (since I lived in Dayton). Testing revealed reduced output right above the crossover point, which also happened to reduce the ringing issue. It’s very audible, and I have never heard of anybody reversing it once they’ve heard it.
@@crankysoldermeisterThanks for chiming in here. is it worth doing the next step and doing upgrading from the sand casts and adding bigger coils etc? do you have a list and instructions how to build the better crossovers? Thanks
