Anyone got any recomendations? I haven't done heavy soldering in many years, and I'd like to be able to do my own stuff like the xovers when it's time. Is there a pretty simple kit or something I can start with?

This thread pops up over and over, run a search here and av123. I'm in the midst of soldering some xovers right now.
I bought a Weller soldering iron on eBay, and watched a few 'how to solder' vids on youtube. I think the Skiing Ninja has one such vid on his site. Then got a few scrap circuit boards and practiced removing, then re-adding various bits to the boards.
It's pretty simple once you do 3 or 4 practice solders.There's a fine line between gardening and Madness.

Be sure to get a soldering iron that will get hot enough. While the caps and resistors don't need a lot of heat energy (watts), wires and inductors do.Comment
