Help! 2 way crossover filter

[SIDEWINDER18X]

But as far as I know, limiting is needed in the HF (tweeter) circuit. people always use more power for the woofer than a tweeter in a biamped system.

The LAMP limiter is widely used in tiny drivers to be able to handle excess power since there is no component of any sort to limit the excess power. The inductor & parallel capacitor wired in its crossover will not attenuate power in any form. In case of tweeters, the excess power initially attenuate thru the input capacitor and later followed up by the LCR circuits in 12dB, 18dB or 24dB arrangements, which further limit the power to the operational limit of the tweeter. Some times PTC & LAMP arrangement is also employed for tweeter, but that is in case of pro -sound tweeter at extreme power levels.

Yes my driver is 4 ohm written on the driver as well as in the site's spec.

Measure the DC resistance with a DMM, you'll know for sure.

I had a pair of 6.8uf non polar caps that I used for the tweeter. So now it is crossed at around 2900 Hz.

It is sounding more or less same. May be a bit less harsh now. I didn't tell you earlier, I didn't quite like this tweeter at all for the price but for movies I will bear with it

Haven't yet worked on the enclosure or tuning port.

Where did you make them from? the last place i made the cabinets for my speakers costed me a lot!

 

[koushik]

How much did it cost to you?

the whole sheet was like 1600 bucks grade 2 mdf and then another 1500 for cutting!

I have unused pair of M10NG which I am looking to sell. Location - pune, local pickup preferred.
