[QUOTE="PV Audio, post: 7984229, member: 554493"] Not quite. What you have there is [I]effectively [/I] still a second order low pass filter (but not quite because your added cap is doing high pass work, so in theory it is working like a bass blocker. This is not, however, the way to design what you're wanting.). At high frequencies, capacitors become shorted and inductors create an open circuit. At low frequencies, inductors create a short and capacitors create an open circuit. This is why if you look at your high pass filter, you have a capacitor and a parallel inductor and on the low pass originally was a series inductor and a parallel capacitor. What you'll end up with even if you switch out the inductor is still just a low pass filter, albeit 3rd order. What you're trying to make is a bandpass filter which is instead a parallel inductor and capacitor or a series inductor or capacitor (the latter is more appropriate for high-fi audio as putting anything in series with the driver introduces its effects to the resulting signal.
