[sudhirbhosale]

Hi
I am building 2way design. Planning to connect tweeter without crossover. i.e. by condenser. Can I know what value of condecer I sould select? Any tips, design consideration. Speaker is for 30w / PCH

Thanks

hello sudhirbhosale,
I'm using 4.7uf with dapic tweeters.feels good with them.Experimented with certain values till got satisfied. I'm also a newbie 'here'.

Depends on the power rating of your tweeter and how loud you want it to sound. You can try any value between 4mfd and 10mfd. You tweeter will be the softest with 4mfd but the highs will tend to be silky, as you go closer to 10mfd, your tweeter will start sounding louder and the highs will be more aggressive. Don't forget to use the correct polarity while connecting electrolytic capacitors.

Go over 5mfd only if your tweeter has a decent power rating.

is the tweeter 4 ohm or 8 ohm?

hi sudhirbhosale,
which speakers ( kit) you are using? Also how about the cabinet?

It is 4 ohm tweeter

for 4 ohm tweeters, you should halve the value of capacitance to get the same cutoff frequency.
