how do you smell a sneeze?

and the little pond that is next door is Lake Minnetonka. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Minnetonka yeah baby!!

Deephaven lower left, Minneapolis on the middle right.

Deephaven, MN

Yep, and the ever important 3 door workshop is real nearby

Completely wooded 1 acre lot. I can't wait to friggin' move!!

It is all about the investment. Bought it for a quarter mil low which means good things in a year or two.

lots of room for peekas!

She is a beast. 3800sq ft, 5 bedroom, billiard room, sun room and holy hell did we steal it pricewise!!

What can be made private logically should, what can't shouldn't.

no one is "giving" me advice, unless you're refering to all the manufactor's that make bullet tweeters, and include te 3.3uf 100v caps with them, and reccomend that you use them, if you dont have a crossover. you say theres a bigger risk of blowing them. must not be that big, if people have been running 10+ of them in their cars, with only a cap on each one (and the HF on the amp set) and theirs havent blown....i understand its not the PROPER way to do it, but again, theyre loud, harsh sounding tweeters. theyre not seas or any other SQ type tweeter. you keep saying that im doing it becuase others do, and yes, im going to use the caps becuase others have used them, and never had a problem blowing them. selenium, eminence, audiopipe (although not the best brands) but if they reccomend the cap to be used with their own product, i think it would work. even though its a 6dB slope, its crossing them at 6k hz..i dont think any frequencies 6k and above are going to blow these tweeters. if i take the same cap and put it on a 4 ohm driver, it crosses at 12khz, and a 2 ohm driver is 24k....... Unlike yourself, I know how they work. With that crossed at 6k you will only be down 12dB at 1500hz. Umm and all the pro-audio manufacturers pretty much recommend bi-amping and digital crossovers on the front end as well. The cap is just included as an oh shit protection device and not really meant to be used. Either way, I guess you know more than we do so go ahead.

Why would you buy the ripoff eD version of the Tangband???

There is also another reason why I am opposed to national healthcare. All wealthy Canadians come here for "real" surgeries, Europeans too. Social medicine and great doctors don't go hand in hand. And the bottom line is of course, the least efficient business in the struggling US is the government so making it bigger and therefore less efficient yet is stupid.

Word, I'll have to come for a visit once you & the w are settled. Thanks guys! The new digs will be significantly better than the old

Plus its the hop, it doesn't have to be relevant to anything.

I am almost Canadienne, eh.

First I never said they would blow as it has absolutely nothing to do with why you should use what, but you are right as considering the shallow slopes they will provide there will be a much larger chance for them to blow. I am not pulling the info from anywhere, unless you consider logarithm mathematics rocket science or something unknown. Further amusing is that you requested my help in understanding one of these simple crossovers before and couldn't design one, but I did for you and you still question my statements on them?? I am still thoroughly amused at whomever is giving you advice, you claimed nobody in the past but whatever idiot he is should really take just a little time to understand rudimentary Physics and actually think for once instead of doing something based on what other idiots are doing. So far you haven't been led down the right path in understanding absolutely anything about acoustics, audio, or implementation. We on the other hand keep directing you the right way, but you aren't happy with our answers since they don't line up with what you have already falsely discovered

*amused

stupid laptop is acting teh slow

If you do a 3 instead of a 4, I'd flare both ends though.

what part of this and your sig "lots of eminence tweets and mids" has me defining you on the bandwagon? It is all what you said. As for the crossover: first order = 6dB = simple cap which of course is exactly why we ALL recommended that you don't use them.

I'd give it a shot. My dumb ass never got around to resolving my router issue with Oink but will try harder here. Actually home this week too!

My sand is internally made though, I feel bad for the what yours must feel like
