Re: INDUCToR question

209.142.53.48

Personally, I would add a resistor instead of messing with a good inductor. There is typically less distortion in an inductor using larger gauge wire. But adding only series resistance is going to shift your crossover(bandpass)frequencies. You are going to have to build a fixed L-pad, one series resistor and one parallel resistor in order not to have a shift in the crossover frequencies. The shift at crossover may be rather small with only 1 ohm in series. Adding the parallel resistor will bring the impedance back down to what the crossover was originally designed for.
