Default Crossover questions.....

OK, some techie questions regarding this crossover:

1) Anybody care to tell me what order it is (seems pretty basic to me)?


Looks like first order.

2) Can I slap it between just about any tweeter and similar sized mid/bass
unit with good effect?

Yes to the first part of this question, and possibly to the second part.
It looks like this crossover has a 3.3 ohm resistor in series with the
tweeter, presumably to balance the level with the woofer. I would say
this is done with two specific drive units in mind.


3) Will a different box size have any bearing on how it works with the
drivers?


Should make much difference as box size effects the bass end, and the
crossover works in the middle.

4) Have I marked up the driver connections correctly?


Yes, it will work this way, but to me it looks upside-down with the +
terminal being the common terminal. By convention, it is the negative
that's common, but it *is* only by convention.

How do we know electrons are negatively charged. That's only relative to
protons..........


Apologies if these questions are a bit simplistic - I have a bone problem
which prevents me reading reams of techie stuff (and actually *learning*
anything) when a swift thump with a hammer will sort most things out, one
way or another.....

;-)


Particularly effective for setting cartridge tracking.
