Get the inductor diagram. Search ak for inductor interference and it will show up. Seems 20cm separation is good but only one type of one flat the other on edge. Don't rely on me t talking about what I saw a while ago.
Thanks Blue Shadow. I was aware of the diagram and had referred to it. The inductors are beyond the max distance suggested for the positions they were in. But I set the smaller one on end anyway, thanks for the suggestion.
An astute AK'er noticed I had incorrectly assembled the low frequency section of the crossover. I had the inductor tap into the positive side then go to ground before the big capacitor. I've corrected the mistake and things sound even more clear, but at the expense of some falsely permitted frequencies getting to the woofer cone. I asked a couple questions over there but there seems to be less activity there. So I'll ask here.
"It looks to me your inductor in the woofer circuit is not connected correctly. One of the leads from the inductor is connected directly to ground with the large capacitor lead." -homebrew
Wow! How correct you are.
I've corrected the mistake on one channel. Thank you very much for pointing it out. I had been listening to these crossovers on the Tannoy drivers but only with ~2.4 watts per driver for about a week. I've only corrected one of the crossovers to see how it was different from the other still incorrect crossover. The difference is not glaringly evident.
Because I don't understand crossover theory I'd like to ask a couple questions. In the picture above, the low frequency section of the crossover had the inductor going to ground with the large capacitor- what in theory was happening to the signal headed to the woofer?
Now that the inductor is in series with the on the positive side and the large capacitor runs parallel after the inductor, what is happening to the signal headed to the woofer?
Thank you very much for pointing out my mistake and I appreciate any insight you can offer me as I learn about crossovers." -litefootdan
Thanks for any help anyone can offer
