Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

The original caps were...

Just one 2.2uf's. One to the mid and the other to the tweeter in series. The woofer was open. The type of cap was your basic 35V axial, almost PCB sized caps. About 1/2-3/4 inch long.

I think the older designs were of a very basic principle. They had a simple SPL graph and had a simple formula to mate drivers with MAYBE one cap to adjust for rolloff.

That's why I have so much trouble with working with DIY projects with 4th order LR designs. WHY????? is there a need for SO MUCH crossover if driver matching would seem to be MORE important that just stuffing parts on a crossover board.
