3. Take care in removing the protective
film near edges and corners to prevent
paint damage in these areas.
4. The protective film should not be left
on the painted surface for extended
periods of time nor exposed to heat
sources and direct sunlight.
Section 4.4—Resistors
By removing the large aluminum back cover
on the rear of the woofer module of your Alexias,
you may gain access to the resistor plate (see Fig-
ures 15 and 16). These resistors serve several func-
tions.
Note: Only Wilson Audio replacement resistors
should be used in your Alexias. Changing the value
or brand of resistor will have a deleterious affect
on the sonic performance of your loudspeakers
and will void your Wilson Audio Warranty.
Midrange and Tweeter Resistors
The Midrange Level, which consists of a 2.55 ohm (2x5.1 in parallel) (See Figure
16) resistor assembly for the mid, and Tweeter Level, which consists of 4.5 ohm (2x9.0
in parallel) resistor assembly for the tweeter, resistors provide precise level matching
for the midrange and tweeter drivers correspondingly. The resistors also act as ultra
high quality fuses which open before a driver can be damaged by excess power. See
Section 6.0 for details in replacing these resistors in the event one of these resistors is
damaged.
