    D2a Mid line Stereo Crossovers?

    I've just bought some Alpine G series component speakers to replace the Harmon kardon stock speakers - Rears have gone in today with no trouble but was wondering if there's a crossover on the front woofer/tweeter setup. I was just going to plumb the Alpine crossover unit into the the woofer outputs then just had a thought about any existing crossover.

    RAVE's not much help in this instance

    Cheers

    Hi mate. There is no existing crossover in that setup. The existing tweeters have a capacitor wired into them as a crude frequency cut off.

    Cheers

    It might be simple but a capacitor in conjunction with the coil resistance of the speaker is an effective high-pass filter. The capacitor value determines the cut-off frequency of the filter. What more do you want?

    Yeah but it's not a crossover ( like you said its a frequency cut off) because the woofer still receives all frequencies.
