Unfortunately, the colours don&amp;#39;t seem to quite agree with what you have at hand. The big bunch of orange wires apparently all belong to the midranges - they are connected in two series connected pairs, and so four of those ends are probably just two short loops behind the speaker panel (can&amp;#39;t see why they would be wired down to the crossover, only to return without actually connecting to anything there).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the others, I guess it would be safest to look where they go in the crossover. You&amp;#39;ll need to remove the amplifier unit to get at them - I&amp;#39;ve never worked on active Pentas, but as I understand the only difference is that the five bolts through the bottom are longer as they penetrate the amp as well instead of just the bottom plate!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some creative work with an ohmmeter might save you from that, but it will be easier to make mistakes...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Plus, there are some images &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://forum.beoworld.org/forums/t/7549.aspx"&gt;in this thread&lt;/a&gt; which might help you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>And the numpty of the week award goes to........Help with my Pentalab required</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/235380.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 28 Oct 2009 13:21:26 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:235380</guid><dc:creator>bluestreak</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/235380.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&amp;PostID=235380</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;I am in the process of refurbishing my pentalabs and replaced all of the&amp;nbsp;bass drives without a hitch. I very carefully photographed the mid range/tweeter wiring before dismantling the unit and disconnecting all the speakers. Guess what??? I deleated the photos (Numpty or what) No I have&amp;nbsp; 1 White wire, 1 Blue wire, 1 Purple wire and 6 Orange wires and have no idea where they go&lt;img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/07.gif" alt="Unsure" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CAN ANYONE OUT THERE HELP A FELLOW B AND O FAN IN DISTRESS?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Looking forward to any replies&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cheers&lt;/p&gt;
