Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: GNP - 2-way

Be aware that replacing a lossy electrolytic capacitor with a low-loss film capacitor tends to increase the perceived output level, so you may find it necessary to attenuate the output of the tweeter with an L-pad, or increase the attenuation level if a stock L-pad is already involved. However, you might find an increase of treble energy to be a good thing. Also, premium film capacitors tend to be rather large, so make sure to choose one that is small enough to fit onto the crossover circuit board, or small enough to place within a point-to-point wiring scheme. While you are at it, you might consider upgrading the internal wiring, or simply choose new hookup wire for the task.
