Part of a Crossover Question

blackdragonx1186 · 4 Weeks Ago

I have these xovers that i yanked from some water-damaged boxes. they are very basic, consisting of a cap for the mid/high, and an unknown part for the woofer. what i want to know is if anyone can ID what it is. I took a dmm to it and got a reading of .3 ohms. no voltage ac or dc, so I dont think its a cap. printed on it is 1.75A-50.

Aren't inductors used for the sub?

Inductors don't like highs but I can't say for sure.

thats what i thought, but knowing what an inductor looks like, (at least i think i do), im not sure thats what it is.

Yea, I thought they were round for a coil of wire but maybe there are different shapes?

could it be an automatic fuse? that is what it reminds me of.

those must not have been a pair of good speakers because the woofer out is really isn't just getting the lows but all the of the music input thats coming thru the xover.and that xover is just for the mids and highs .reason for this is there is no coil on that little board just some caps and resist. you must have a coil to get the lows only.that blue box is a circuit breaker for the tweet.

^^ not true. I made a low-pass filter using resistors and capacitors
