route 66 xover bypass

Post by todd217 »

is there a way to make a route 66 run full range or hp on all channels? i want to run the m25 for tweeters and the m44 bridged to the 6.5s.

It would take a bit of hacking, but not too crazy. You could fully bypass all the onboard crossovers.

Yes it could be reversed. You need to cut the traces on the board just after the RCA jacks are attached to the boards. You would then run small wires out to the beginning of the amplifier stage of the M25 from one set of RCAs. From the other set of RCAs you would run the right out to both amp stage inputs on the front of the M44, and the left out to both amp stage inputs on the rear of the M44.

In both amps, there should be a series resistor immediately after the RCA jack, so you don't need to cut traces, you could just pull one leg on this resistor and run the wires from the holes the resistor was in.
