Hi Guys

I recently lent a pair of very old Mcgregor mpx 750 cabs to a friend (bad move) and sadly one came back broken. It turns out that the crossover is the cause.

The specs of the cab are:

- 750w (I assume that's peak)
- 4ohms
- Hi 12DB per Octave @ 2.5KHZ high pass
- Lo 12db Per Octave @ 2.5KHZ low pass
- The low band goes to a mid driver and a low driver.

I'm struggling to find an exact spec match on Blue Arran & Studio Spares. I can find ones that match crossover frequency but not power and I'm anxious to buy the wrong one.

Could anyone offer any advice?

Cheers for reading

I'm sure a good closeup pic would help us to identify the suspect parts!

Ring McGregor? They're still trading and they're quite helpful

Well Alan at McGregor was a very nice chap.

He said as you guys said it would be very difficult to find one of the shelf and it would need checking over afterwards.

£40 an hour repairs and he thinks it'll take about 30 minutes.

So looks like it'll be 2 hours off work to drop it off, £40ish quid repair plus petrol. I'm never lending my gear out again!

Cheers guys
