[QUOTE="gstokes, post: 8278245, member: 660947"] [URL="http://www.polkaudio.com/polk-university/articles/the-care-and-feeding-of-tweeters"]The Care & Feeding of Tweeters | Articles | Polk Audio®[/URL] Very informative article, i had considered using a single capacitor to act as high pass filter if needed, right up until i read the last 3 sentences in the section "about crossovers".. here is a quote from the article.. "There is far less low frequency energy getting to the tweeter with a second order crossover than a first order. A tweeter with a second order crossover will play louder and last longer than one with a first order filter. At the lower, more dangerous frequencies, much less energy gets to the tweeter, and thus much less heat." [/QUOTE]
