crossover

[tommcchristy]

I want to use a 50mf something to protect my horn from overload. Would that be a resistor. Do I just solder it onto the speaker and wire connection? This would be after an active crossover for extra protection from DC. I got this info. from a guy I don't want to call back and bug.

thanks

A capacitor will protect the horn from low frequencies. If that's what you want, then you're well on the way.

You need a capacitor such as dayton part number 027-443. add it to the positive lead to the horn (red color). the cap costs about 11.29

use dayton part number 027-443 this is a capacitor that costs 11.29. it needs to go on the positive lead to the horn. it will protect the horn from 20hz to 400hz That is if the horn is 8 ohm. phil

50uF(mfd is often seen but incorrect) is a capacitor, and has to be non-polar. You solder it in series with the (+) terminal of the horn, and the wire that would normally be connected to the horn.

50 microfarad is a capacitor. Sometimes is written 50uf or 50mf. Like this one.

50 microfarad is a capacitor. Sometimes it is written as 50uf instead of 50mf. Try this one.

It is a 50 microfarad capacitor. Sometimes it is written 50uf instead of 50mf.

It's a capasitor, and it would be placed in the positive line. the added cap would block a little more bass.
