Re: Goodman's Magnum K series MEGA collection... Mod advice
I've had a lot of time over the last few days to play with this and I have come to the conclusion that I shouldn't be messing with the driver arrangement. It was an interesting play around.. but the K2 mid suits the other 2 drivers better than the K alnico. I'm no Goodman's engineer :laughing-rollin...

Re: Goodman's Magnum K series MEGA collection... Mod advice
Well I must say that this alnico mid from the Ks is really quite impressive. It's hard to appreciate individual drivers when in the cab with the others, but on the bench alone you can hear what it's capable of. It could almost be a full range driver. I've temporarily added a 22uF cap to it because I...

Re: Goodman's Magnum K series MEGA collection... Mod advice
The tweeter can be protected just by a capacitor if it's the same ohms as the other drivers . Its largely personnel depending on how you want the treble . The bass and midrange you dope and run full range and run in series . Driver impedance is the same AFAIK - will double check before proceeding. ...

Re: Goodman's Magnum K series MEGA collection... Mod advice
Thanks @CycleCoach. Great info there.
I wasn’t even aware that you could run the bass and mid in series. I’ll have a little read of the doc mod threads and come up with something.

Re: Goodman's Magnum K series MEGA collection... Mod advice
Remember doping is an alternative to a crossover , not in my opinion a compliment I've just re-read this and I think I misunderstood it. Having not tried driver doping before, I have no knowledge to fall back on. Are you saying that the eventual aim is that none of the drivers have any crossover co...

Here is the K2 crossover with all values: Goodmans Magnum K2 Crossover.png I don't pretend to know too much about the relationship of crossover components and how the drivers affect each other, but I am wondering if I should just try this and see what it sounds like: K2 alterations.png The K2 bass i...

Re: Goodman's Magnum K series MEGA collection... Mod advice
That’s really great info and a fantastic photo - thank you very much. I’ll get some Bison Kit for when I do the second set. At the moment, I am working on the factory spec set to compare. I thought I’d found someone on another forum who had the crossover for the Ks but they’re no longer a member. I ...

Re: Goodman's Magnum K series MEGA collection... Mod advice
The xover is ancient , throw it away .🤣 I will, but I need to trace it first to know what to knock up on the prototype board!! That resistor is part of the replacement (different) Lpad. I don’t know what it does, I don’t fully understand lpads other than they are more or less 2 pots that don’t redu...

Re: Goodman's Magnum K series MEGA collection... Mod advice
Interesting how some have the drivers front mounted and some are rear mounted on the baffle. I have thought a lot about this and I think it is simply to do with the fact that when the back was removable and the grille was not (because the K grille is secured from the inside) it was easier to have t...
