The 5.4 mH and the 4.8 mH inductors in the low and mid sections of the 3145 crossover are sited in the 4345 reference thread as 0.63 and 0.6 DCR respectively. How much 'wiggle-room' is there in the DCR values when purchacing inductors? Alpha core inductors at the same gauge provide lower DCR than a Solen HL Air core.
There are alpha core inductors available with a DCR of 0.392; 5.6 mH; 12 awg and a 4.7 mH; DCR= 0.348; 12AWG.
Would a lower DCR be adventagous or is the DCR delta between the air core and the foil inductors insignificant?
Thanks
