Hello, everyone,

For the HPF/LPF section on a 1081/1084's, the LPF switch is positioned (3 deck) is positioned closer to the panel than the HPF (single deck), which requires the LPF switch to hollow shaft. If someone was making traditionally built unit, the switch would be wired off board and there are several options for type of switches fairly readily available to do so. However, if doing a design with on board mounted components, it would require a 3 deck, hollow shaft switch which as far as I know is a custom order with minimum quantities. Is there any reason the HPF can be closer to the panel and the LPF behind it? I have quite a few hollow shaft Grayhill 2x6 and 1x12 single deck switches so I could potentially utilize this section of the 80 series circuit if there is no significant penalty for switches the positioning of the switches.

Thanks!

Paul
