Renkus SSD 3301 -- High pass or running full range
First time with a compression driver. I happen to have a pair of Renkus SSD3301. Goal is to have each produce 600hz and up (mounted on 11x17 horns). Can I connect it directly to my amp, or should I add a capacitor in series to serve as a low pass filter? In the later case, I am thinking somewhere around 30uf (the SSD3301 I have are 8ohm). Of course I prefer not to have a cap in the signal chain if I can just run the CDs directly and not damaging them.

Anyone?
Just played some hi-res classical violin solo music (i.e., no deep bass at all) without any crossover. The drivers sounded tremendous. Then I added a 35uf in series to filter out ~600hz and below. I FELT that the sound became a bit "tamed" -- no as fast paced or transparent as before.
Obviously if having no crossover will cause damage to the drivers, I will certainly add one.
