  1. Thank you Roy and Aadams for your replies. Yes, I had the resistors wired to the incorrect L-pad terminals. I fixed that and also two other contact points in the sister speaker. Now everything works fine. Thanks again.
  2. I hope someone with more technical expertise than I have can help me in understanding the "correct" value of resistor to insert when using (2) 8 ohm L-pads in an AR-5 crossover. From what I read onIine I have inserted a 25 ohm 10 watt resistor (Dayton Audio Precision 10w 1%) across terminals "1" and "2" on each of the new L-pads. When I measure the resistance of the original AR pot I get 15.9 ohms across the whole range of settings. If I measure the L-pad with a 25 ohm resistor across terminals "1" and "2", I get a minimum of 0 ohms to a maximum of 25.0 ohms. But if I put a 16 ohm resistor in the same spot I get a minimum reading of 0 ohms and a maximum of 16.1 ohms. Doesn't the 16 ohm resistor come closer to the original value? Which is the better value to use and how will the two different values affect the sound from the midrange and tweeter? Will the 16 ohm resistor give a louder sound to the mid and tweeter compared to the 25 ohm resistor? And if I use no resistors on the L-pads how will that affect the sound?
