Super Chorus inspired project.

the 5 tap is connected to the + side of the 2.2uf capacitor, 10Ω resistor and 5.5mH chokes; the 0 tap is connected to the - of the cap and resistor and sent to ground at the terminal. It had been floating, previously. This what it looks like now:

You can use way smaller resistors for a tweeter L-pad;

These resistors from Mouser are what have used. Specific values are hard to find sometimes, but you can parallel resistors to get the values you need. These are 130 ohm|| > 65 ohm and 1.8 ohm|| > 0.9 ohm

Please feel free to tell me to butt out :).

I assume the - side of the 5.5mh chokes is connected to ground as well?

Here's how I see the connections. Just need to verify that the common wire from high pass amp - is not connected to woofer out -.

You might get another cup of coffee!

Here is another measurement from DIYAudio of the 18x10 & D2200Ph. It matches my measurements;

Ahhh. For one thing your 2.5mh is in parallel with the 3.0mh? That gets you 1.4mh instead of 5.5mh. If that's true, that's creating the massive bump at 600hz. They need to be in series to get 5.5mh.

Ahhh, I didn’t realize that. I’d assumed they’d be like capacitors and resistors. Since it’s mostly connected with spade terminals, it’s an easy enough fix
 
It's like you guys are male witches at the boiling pot and you decided to dump in ALL of the spices in the rack to see what would happen. LOL. I'm bowing out of this monster dish. I have over 2 Dozen speakers to work on, literally. Have FUN.

I was thinking Dumb & Dumber, but who is who? It's called helping out. I don't have a problem with it (being Dumb or Dumber).

This thread is part of why I’m going to go three way active DSP.
I can appreciate the knowledge to make a passive set up work but I don’t have the patience(or budget) to go back and forth with all of the parts swapping.

No doubt... a complete loudspeaker system (with passive crossovers) can be a lot of work, even if it is a two-way design. Three-way just adds another level of excitement/challenge to the mix.

Inexpensive (good) amps & DSP nowadays makes it a whole lot more affordable to go active than in the past.
 
One protection cap on a tweeter, and all 4th order Linkwitz Riley filters. Done. Cross subs at 60 Hz or below, run mids from 300-4,000, time delays, and PEQ cuts for the room (after doing your best acoustically). Then listen to music.
 
Got it sorted. Seems slightly, no, much more refined now. Tomorrow we measure. Thanks Mike and Nick!

@ClaudeJ1, it’s more like we’re fishermen, making bouillabaisse with all of the unmarketable bycatch we couldn’t sell to the fishmongers: there’s a classic recipe with proven results, but there’s some variability with the ingredients and the senior boat captains share their knowledge and secrets to the newer crew so that the recipe can be passed on and doesn’t die. :thumbsup:

But this thread has evolved (devolved?) on an extreme tangent away from the OP, which is a Super "Chorus" misnomer from my Super Heresy start point. Should be in an active section by now, since it's grossly mislabeled. Start another thread that is not so misleading in principle. There's no such thing as a "Super Chorus" since it's not a mod of a Klipsch Cabinet in any way, shape, or form (dimensions are not being followed), however convenient the nomenclature might be. This a Klipsch Korner, after all. So INSPIRATION is the key word then. Yeah, I know I suggested the name based on the single woofer and cab footprint, but it has strayed away from dock by a mile.

Well since it is Gigantic's thread, I imagine he can call it whatever he wants and allow evolved or devolved content. I didn't realize that we had to follow the heavy handed protocol like another foreskin... ah, I mean forum.
