Back-EMF solutions for piezos
I have never had success adding passive components around the piezo's to reduce chirping caused by back-EMF from a woofer. If the woofer makes enough back-EMF to cause the tweeter to chirp, you can't use the two together on the same output circuit.

Re: Back EMF?
…is more or less likely to generate greater back-EMF than a woofer with smaller cone diameter. It isn't even the diameter that matters, it's the mass. And that's not the only thing that comes into play. There's the amount of mechanical damping verses …

Don't go into clipping and check for back-EMF
…to see if this is caused by back-EMF from the woofer. Certainly, the solution is to refrain from clipping the amp. But I'd like to know if, when the woofer is decoupled from the circuit, the piezo "buzz" goes away. I've heard 'em "chirp" from back-EMF …

Re: Crossovers - Again !!!!!!!
…notes? What is happening is the woofer's back-EMF is causing the laminations in the output transformer to vibrate. It's kind of the same thing that can cause a power transformer to buzz. At low volumes, the output circuit can handle it, but at higher …

Back EMF?
…me that a 12-15" driver may produce a lot of back-EMF that amps with very poor damping factor (2A3 SET) have a hard time coping with, regardless of sensitivity. First of all, what is back-EMF? Second, is it a problem with the 2A3 on the Four Pi…

Re: And an even more indepth article

Re: Back EMF?
…low power levels is not related to Zmax or back-EMF in any way. It's the fact that the driver was designed to handle a lot more power, and the electro-mechanical parameters shift at moderate levels. So at flea-power, the tuning of the system makes it …
