On my crossovers I went with a lower budget solution. I use Erse Super Q inductors (2.7mH) along with two Dayton metallized polypropylene capacitors (25uF ea.) per speaker. For the high pass section I used Jantzen CrossCaps (33uF) for the tweeters, bypassed at first with a Dayton film and foil polypropylene capacitors (.1uF). Later I upgraded the Dayton film & foil cap with a Theta AudioCap and found out why the Dayton bypass caps only costs a dollar. The high frequencies really cleared up with a better quality bypass cap in there.
The later MMG tweeters (8 run version) is essentially a MG12 tweeter. Take it from someone with a big SS amp and no fuses, they just sound better and better.Interestingly enough, I tried one of those directional Mon$ter cables and modded MMG's are revealing enough to let you hear a difference when you swap directions.
