I thought I'd take the liberty to list the existing ZRT crossover options to aid with pricing using the soon-to-be-available-locally crossover bits :)

(for detailed design information refer to the Zaph|Audio website)

2-Way ZRT (see attached below post)
Crossover options from Madisound:
Two crossover options are available for the ZRT 2-Way Kit. Both options use Eagle metal oxide resistors for the tweeter, air core inductors in parallel tweeter circuits and a Bennic polypropylene capacitor in the parallel woofer circuit. The woofer and tweeter crossovers come assembled, with each mounted on their own Matrix  and 149B  circuit boards. This allows for bi-amp/bi-wiring if desired, and flexibility in cabinet placement.

The standard crossover uses: Clarity SA Capacitors in series tweeter circuit, Solen Fast Cap in parallel tweeter circuit, and Sledgehammer Steel Laminate inductor in series woofer circuit.

The upgraded crossover uses: Clarity SA Caps in series tweeter circuit, Solen polypropylene cap in the parallel tweeter circuit, and Goertz Copper Foil 14awg inductor in the series woofer circuit.

2.5-Way ZRT (see attached below post)
Crossover options from Madisound:
The ZRT 2.5-Way tweeter crossover network uses Clarity SA Capacitors in series circuit, Solen Fast Caps in parallel circuit, Eagle metal oxide resistors, and air core inductors. We also offer the upgrade option of using Clarity ESA Capacitors in the series tweeter circuit.

The woofer crossover consists of Sidewinder air core and Sledgehammer Steel Laminate inductors in series circuit, and Solen Fast Caps in the parallel circuit.

The crossover holds to the exact DCR inductor values called for in the design. The remaining parts choice makes the most sense for the required values and high-end level of this kit.

Now let's see if we can put together a neat local shopping list ;)

(forum admin, why can't we post *.xls files, for e.g.: BOM lists? Or *.pdf files either for that matter ???)
