I have one already built to test how the squashing the box to my spatial needs affects the low frequency performance and honestly it kicks all kinds of MAJOR ASS (!!!!!) just fine in the range below 2K.
I have tried to analyze the crossover and I really have no need of the functions outside of just setting it and forgetting it.
Does anyone see any trouble with just using the two caps and the coil (makes it super simple!) and totally skipping all the other functions?
I will end up with a cap in series with the horn driver at 8 microFarads, a .75 milliHenry shunt coil across those terminals.
Then it seems that a 3 microFarad goes in as a shunt across the E140 to limit its High Frequency response.
I will never bi-amp these boxes, so all the other connections just add to confusion. I plan to use a single cap at 6dB/octave to the super tweet in parallel with the horn driver set for about 7K or 8K. (want to keep it protected if I decide to really crank up Chickenfoot or something)
I am still figuring out the L-pad ... or if I really need it. I might just use a static Resister in series, but not that far along yet.
Am I really missing something, or is it truly this simple?
