... ... and, that's a bad idea. I'd suggest adding a fuse to the tweeter, instead. It's a much better way of protecting the driver.

The photo of the crossover earlier in this thread shows a circuit breaker in the tweeter circuit. It's been years since I had to open my 22ES's, so I can't say for sure that mine even have that.

Raising the crossover or increasing the slope is the only practical way of protecting a tweeter from smoke-releasing events. Fuses and circuit breakers will be either too slow to prevent it, or too happy to sacrifice themselves before they should have. Either way the good times get interrupted!:tears:

I've managed to keep one original and one replacement tweeter alive since the 90's by simply using the speakers in the bedroom system, rather than the living room. In other words, by limiting how loud they get played.

As I stated earlier, if my tweeters ever do go gaga again, I'm putting a JBL 6X6 waveguide in ala Econowave. I may still have a spare if just one pops, I would not really want to cut them up...
