Tarkus updates

Here we go again. Just as the crossover for the Amigas was adjusted slightly to accomodate the newer version of the DX25, I had to do the same for the Tarkus. If you are unsure which version you have, the old tweeter was called DX25TG09-04, and the new one is DX25TG59-04.

Basically, the only thing that changed was resistor R2. If you happened to use the old crossover with the new tweeter you may notice the treble is a bit hot. This is completely fixable. You have a few options, all of them pretty easy. You can either A) replace R2 with a 4 Ohm resistor and be done, or B) you can parallel another 8 Ohm resistor to it to achieve a net 4 Ohm load (remember: 8 Ohm + 8 Ohm = 4 Ohm). At the very worst case scenario that you cannot reach the crossover board, you can still get the results in solution B by simply soldering the resistor across the + and - leads on the tweeter.

Again, I apologize for the confusion. This will hopefully be the last retroactive parts update I'll have to do in... well, hopefully ever.
