I built 8 ohm 1200 Hz crossovers to day with existing parts. Please don;t ask how I came to have all these caps.........and more! Needing 11uF I combined a 6.2 and a 4.6; needing 33uF I combined, ta-daaaa.....16, 8.2, 5.4 and 2.2! I also used 1.0 mH coils for toot an woof instead of .8 and .7. Sounds maybe a little muffled and congested in the mids. There was also a good deal of brightness early on but that has settled out. Caps combine in parallel, right? So this should work? Has anyone else ever built a 2-way crossover with 8 caps?
