Purchased a pair of two-way crossovers on ebay that had the right crossover point for some inexpensive bookshelfs I'm making from the "oops" cabinets that Parts Express was offering a few months ago (tweeter hole error)...
My problem (which a search hasn't seemed to answer) is identifying how to hook up the crossover - wiring is marked as follows on the crossover: * G * G/B * B * R * Y/B * Y I assume B (black) and R (red) are inputs, but can't figure out if G or Y is tweeter/woofer. Thanks in advance for the assistance. I only have the woofers handy - picking up the tweeters next week. |

So why not just wire up a bass driver to one pair (g - g/b OR y - y/b) and see what it sounds like ?.
Should be able to tell pretty damn quick if its right or not.......... |

Trace the wiring. The tweeter hot would most likely go to a capacitor. Then through the cap to perhaps a coil which connects to the other side (shunt) and then to the tweeter.
The woofer lead probably goes to a coil (inductor) and through the inductor to the woofer, which may have some other components (resistor, capacitor, possibly inductor) across it. I hope I have not confused matters.... |

Can you snap a pic and show us? If you can, make sure you spread the wires out so we can easily identify where it's going. Shouldn't be that hard.
