We are all familiar with the concept of using inductor in the crossover circuit but we can also make filter circuit using only resistors and capacitors.
But I have never seen them in use anywhere.
The resistivity of capacitance to AC decreases with increase in frequency. So, a capacitance in series with tweeter to act as high-pass filter is commonly used but low-pass with capacitance in parallel with the woofer, with a resistor in series, is not often seen.
Any reason? Can we discuss the pros and cons? Removing inductor from circuit would lower the price of a crossover considerably.
Looking forward to valuable inputs from experts.
