To attenuate the woofer, just use a resistor or L-Pad [message #39879 is a reply to message #39872]

If a person wants to attenuate a voice coil driver, then use a resistor network or L-Pad. Usually a Zobel or some kind of impedance compensation is also desirable, so I would suggest combining the function of L-Pad and compensator. Usually, voice coil drivers have quite a bit of inductance in addition to resistance, so the system benefits from this kind of arrangement.

Still, if I had to pad down a midwoofer in a two-way system, I'd probably consider using a different tweeter.
