I read droves about the terminator and eq roll off mod nearly a year ago. I wanted to implement the temrinator mod but now I can't find it. Can someone direct me to it (the terminator mod, not the eq mod) or repost it?

It was essentially installing a resistor and small capacitr between the wires on each speaker.

thanks very much

 

Rusky,
Run a search using southbound in the user name. That should start you off.

What does it do? Sounds cool enough for me to try it...

 

I haven't yet found the post...

but what does it do?... I'm no expert but from what I gather, it helps to cancel transmission line effects. This is where the frequency of a wave matches the length of the wire and causes reflective interference of frequences... Again, I am no expert and my description may be flawed (please correct me if so!). This interference can be roughly translated to distortion or loss of the signal. The signal intended for the speaker gets partially reflected back to the source. The effect is probably minimal but, hell, I went through the trouble to run 14awg speaker wire into my doors because I couldn't live with the tiny amount of loss I might experience with 50 watts coming in (it is, apparently, quite small).
paraphrazed from http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_2/chpt_13/1.html
Reflections may be eliminated from the transmission line (speaker wire) if the load's impedance exactly equals the characteristic ("surge") impedance of the line. For example, if a 50 Ω resistor is connected at the end of the 50 Ω cable, there will be no reflected energy, all signal energy being dissipated by the resistor.

I have many questions, I don't fully understand this... Anyone who can explain better, please do

 

Found iT!

southbound's words
It consists of a 100 ohm/1watt resistor and a .05uF/1kv cap wired in series and placed in parallel to the speaker (or crossover) across the speaker wires.
