2Pi Coil across woofer? [message #75212]

I've got a schematic that almost looks like the coil is across the woofer and tweeter and doesn't show a series cap on the tweeter.

Could it be so old it's for the Piezo version?

The coil is in parallel on the Woof and the cap in series with the + Tweeter, right?

There has always been a 0.5mH coil in series with the woofer, even back when we were running piezos. It's inline on the "+" wire. So that's probably the coil you're talking about. There was no capacitor in either the woofer or tweeter circuit on the old piezo models.

The tweeter circuit now has a series 10uF capacitor, and a shunt 16Ω resistor. So put the resistor directly across the tweeter leads, and put the capacitor inline on the "+" wire.
