    New Install--Questions on crossovers, parallel wiring, etc

    If it has a cap, I will not remove it. If it does not have a cap, I am thinking I have to add something to limit the freqs ( a cap or crossover). Would adding a capacitor to the tweeter make more sense? Here are the crossover frequencies of this specific crossover: Woofer Frequency...
