I've played with capacitors in trying to make a 6db/octave hi-pass
before, but I've got a question:

I'm thinking about wiring a 6ohm tweeter with some other kind of
mid/bass speaker (not sure 4, 6 or 8ohm) but my question is how to
choose the right capacitor for a parallel circuit.


ex:

(amp) ------ (cap) ---- (6ohm tweeter)
\_____(cap) ______(6ohm mid/bass)

do I calculate the cap based on the ohm rating for the speaker (6ohm)
or the total parallel circuit (3ohm)?


thanks

You don't want to low-pass the midbass?

do I calculate the cap based on the ohm rating for the speaker (6ohm)
or the total parallel circuit (3ohm)?

The speaker's impedance at or around the cutoff frequency.

I figure I'd use the crossover on my amp (usacoustic 4065) to set the
high pass both speakers and..... oops, my diagram has a high pass for
the mid/bass but I MEANT to put a low pass on it..

thanks for the answer!
