Default B&W 801 series 2 crossover

On 5/17/2010 8:46 PM guy25 spake thus:

I talk to digikey on the phone but they do not carried 7W only 10W in
stock. Don't you think it works? there also some on ebay but I'm not so
sure about quality. Please give me your opinion. Thanks again, Jimmy


1. Yes, it will work. Power dissipation has nothing to do with it
"working" or not; it just indicates how much power you can run through
it without damaging it. A 10W resistor resists just like a 7W resistor.

2. Quality, schmality. It's a goddamn *resistor*, for chrissakes.
(Unless you're one of those audiophool suckers who falls for gold-plated
connectors, monster cables and such.) Makes no difference.
