[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8868319, member: 611804"] I pick a cap that is going to cross the tweeter at the fs then use my amp or dsp to set the actual hpf I want. This lets me control the acoustical crossover but if the crossover fails the cap will typically protect the tweeter. Or if the amp malfunctions and has something like turn on pop it will usually save the tweeter. I started doing this because I mistakenly routed my midbass output to my tweeters during a tuning session. My mistake popped a pretty expensive tweeter. Now I have protection caps set for 1300hz where as my dsp is set to 2500hz [/QUOTE]
