    Default Crossover Help (DHT- Wayne J's Design)


    I am building an off-shoot of Wayne J's Dayton Home Theater, I have constructed the crossovers and am ready to connect the tweeter and woofer to the crossovers. Does anyone know if the xover should be wired in parallel or series? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. I will post my final speakers and design once they are finished.

    Generally I treat all my crossovers schematics as follows.

    1) Source- Top is positive, bottom is negative
    2) Source positive to first of each xo component (ex: all three joined tweeter cap/source+/woofer inductor), or can split source and join cap and inductor separately.
    3) Now build xo as schematic
    4) Tweeter xo out to tweeter
    5) At tweeter switch polarity as required
    6) Woofer xo out to woofer
    7) Tweeter out and woofer out back to xo
    8) Xo back to source negative.

    I probably left a few steps out but you should have the idea.
