Ninja Built versus DIY
We offer kits that are professionally built by the Ninja and his minions. This way you know every connection is correct and every component is tested. These are our easiest to install kits.
 
You will need a Philips Head Screwdriver, 3mm or 1/8" Allen wrench and Hot glue/hot glue gun, super glue or like. You may need other tools depending on your wire connection preference.

If you are adventurous, we offer DIY (Do It Yourself) kits. These kits come with all of the parts of a professionally built kit but you assemble the network yourself. A diagram, photos and schematic are included so you don't have to figure out the layout. The ability to read a basic electronic circuit schematic is not required for a DIY build but it is very helpful!
 
You will need a soldering iron, heat gun or hair dryer with high setting, needle nose pliers, hot glue gun & glue or Liquid nails and wire cutters. Plus, what is listed above for the install of your built boards.
High Pass Filter Benefits
High Pass Filter componentsAre you utilizing a subwoofer with your Reference 1's? Then order your new crossover with a built in ultra high quality high pass filter. This filter is set at 80Hz and has a 1st order slope. You will be happy to know that there are no elecrolytics in this filter - only high quality Sonicap and Erse Pulse X capacitors are used.



Upgrade your Cabinet
Your speaker cabinet should never 'talk' along with the music. Want to know why this happens and what you can do to stop it? Read all about the benefits of upgrading your speaker cabinet with NoRez and Black Hole 5.

Choose your Wiring Connections
We offer three different ways you can install your new crossovers depending on your skill and comfort level.

1. (Ninja recommended) Full wiring replacement with IT-001 Ninja wire. We include extra Vampire or Cardas silver solder to attach the wires to the drivers and binding posts.

2. Wires long enough to tie into the existing wires coming from the drivers and binding posts and copper connectors with color coded shrink tubing. Simply crimp the copper connectors over the wires and heat the shrink tubing for a professional finish.

3. Our easiest solution - wires long enough to reach the existing wires and includes wire nuts. Screw the wire nuts over the connections and you are done.

I didn't realize you owned those. I felt that those 450's with that setup was the most impressive that I listened to for music. The music that Rick was playing might have helped since 90% of it was perfect for me (way to go 7 ft man!), but those rockets sounded terrific! They had an airy detailed accuracy that just resonated with me. Had my wife not won the 525 center I think I'd be making the order for the rockets tomorrow! The second most impressive thing to me was the Ninja ref's. wow!!! I could not believe what I was hearing from those tiny speakers!

Less bright, with more oomf down below. A more neutral fuller sound... I thought the ref 1s were pretty damn good and this just improves them.<br><br>- scc135

Reviewer: The Ninja Minions from Colorado  
<span style="font-style: italic;">This review was added by The Ninja Minions.&nbsp; The source is either an email sent to us or internet posting.</span><br><br>The Ninja mods to the Ref 1 were also very impressive. Prior to my Minis, Ref 1s were my main 2 ch. speaker, so I know them fairly well. I'm not normally a proponent of "put a Sonicap in it and it will be transformed" type of modding. Too often people simply throw expensive parts at the XO and expect it to sound better. These Ninja mods are anything but - they are a truly redesigned XO that makes a stunning and wonderful difference. The speaker was much smoother and fuller, without losing detail. It wasn't getting warm and wooly - just less harsh on the high end and rounded out through the midrange. If you have Ref 1s and can't put in Ref 3s or Minis or LSs, I think these mods are a real value and should be considered for sure...<br><br>- RDaneel

Easily my favorite sound of the show. More open. more neutral. bigger stage... way less fatiguing... This speaker is winner and is priced accordingly.<br><br>- sean_w_smith

I am very familiar with the presentation of my Ninja Ref1's, but I have to tell you that I have never quite heard them in a fashion that I heard them on Saturday. Burnley, Micheal, and I spent a 20-30 minute session in this room listening to a grooving Marcus Miller disc, and the bass response (with and without the UFW-10) had me closing my eyes and bobbing my head, with goosebumps running up my arms!<br><br>- SetterP
