Crossover for Super Tweeters

[tlee2]

I just got 4 Crescendo super tweeters and im Goin be runnin them in parallel to the front channels of my rf p400.4 bridged. The crossover only goes up to 500hz so I was wondering if this crossover I got sittin around from some components will work if I just hook in the amp and only use the tweeter output and leave the midwoofer output empty?

It'll work, just make sure the crossover point is around what it needs to be.

Ok. I knew it would work but im kinda wondering how good too

You could always make your own crossovers using non-polarized capacitors. Check out this chart for info http://www.carstereo.com/help/Articles.cfm?id=1

You can get the capacitors here http://www.parts-express.com/wizards/searchResults.cfm?srchExt=CAT&srchCat=198&CFID=33229382&CFTOKEN=85297109

Otherwise the crossovers from component sets should work just fine, they're essentially the same thing anyway, just bulkier. However with using crossovers from a component set, you might not get a really desirable crossover point.

Alright man thanks for the info

Remember this though quality components are key in crossovers, and it won't always be right the first time. When I was with the Audio Engineering Society here at Michigan Tech it took more than 1 attempt for each member to build a crossover with the appropriate roll-off and characteristics desired.
