Are these the right capacitors?

I want my supertweets (st200's) to play 5000hz> on a 12db slope are these the right caps?

Ok heres my dilemma...In a week or two I'm gettin two more st200's and there will be 2 super tweets on both front channel so that would change the impedance to 4ohm which would mean that the crossover point would be different then when there was just 2 at 8 ohm right?

One series cap will only get you a 6dB slope.

If you need 12, you'll need a higher order xover setup.

You would need to buy 4 of those, because each one needs to be 8 ohms.

You could use these

Hooked up like this

Of course, instead of one speaker on the right, you'd have 2 in parallel.

Here's the calculator I used http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/crosscalc.asp#ccc

I'm aware I was just making sure I had the right ones

seems it would just be easier to buy the already assembled ones that I posted rather than the separate cap and inductor you posted tho? or am I wrong lol

Yeah, it'd be easier, but cost a bit more. The cap and inductor setup is for 4 ohms, so you'd only have to buy a pair of each.

Edit: plus doing it yourself is hella funner. Why are you in this hobby if you like to take the easy way out?

Well see thats why I was asking I wasn't sure of the benefit of one over the other.....if I was in this hobby to take the easy way out I wouldn't be on here, I would be sitting in the lobby at some shitty local car audio place letting them take care of it lol...

have you considered an external crossover or electronic crossover. i remember buying capacitors back in the day to block out a lot of the lower/mid bass to reduce distortion
