[QUOTE="thylantyr, post: 2706455, member: 560358"] L-pad doesn't change the frequency response, it only reduces power to the drivers. If your tweeter has no lpad and your woofers are too forward, then you can l-pad the woofers to reduce power so the SPL level is reduced to match the tweeter. If you add another L-pad to the tweeter, you now reduce tweeter SPL and you are back to square one. I don't know what attenuation levels you programmed, but lets assume that you did a quick experiment. Bypass the l-pads and listen to the sound. If the woofers dominate, then install the woofer l-pad and retest. If ok, then no need for the tweeter l-pad. If the tweeter dominated in the no l-pad test, then you l-pad the tweeters and not the woofers. You probably need a zobel on the woofers.
