some tweters can't go lower than 3K, some can go to 2K, etc... also, I think the speaker ohms is relevant to the value of the cap. I might be wrong.. ask Dave Maylar very nicely and you might have the answers you need. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
