Hi all
I need some assistance please with finding off the shelf quality in line crossovers that will neatly snug behind the A pillars that house my front Dynaudio tweeters in my Mk 7 Golf.
Dynaudio tweeters that are fitted with the full Dynaudio upgrade system ordinarily are fed a direct active crossover signal from the Dynaudio DSP amp. However my car has a somewhat hybrid set up with front stock VW 20W 4 ohm Mids; and the stock tweeters-that ordinarily have caps on them-swapped out for these heavier duty Dynaudio’s. All four component door speakers are powered by the OEM upgrade 5 channel Helix DSP amp (380 watts total) which also powers the wheel well sub.
I have read that Dynaudio Esotec tweeters can handle as low as 2200 hz up till 3000 with 12db roll off ? I don’t know what my VW Dynaudio specs are or the model number to research.
however I was hoping the aficionado’s on here could kindly guide me to a supplier with good quality ready made plug and play in line caps that I can splice into tweeter feed.
The front Mids are 20 W 4ohm standard VW made in Belgium units but unsure of their frequency range; hoping to be guided as to what lowest frequency that my Dynaudios can crossover with these Mids.
I’ve attached pics of my tweeters in case anyone recognises them and can determine the specs for them. They are quite weighty and have a big magnet and most other component tweeters such as Focal Audio etc are lightweight and flimsy in comparison.
thanks in advance

Are you sure that the back metal cap is a magnet?
The size of a magnet can vary greatly whether it's a standard magnet of a neodymium.
Parts Express has plenty of 6dB (cap alone) and 12dB/octave crossovers.

It could be magnetic shielding but the tweeter weighs almost 2 and half times weight of conventional tweeters and has robust design and thicker cabling.
I have looked at parts express abd can’t seem to find the right spec. I’ve attached a pic of one of their crossover lines but it’s the wrong spec. It would have to be discrete to tick away behind the ltd space behind the A pillar. I’ve written to parts express expressing that i need the dimensions and one which is 4 ohms and high pass at 2.2khz to 3.5/4/5khz-or whatever top frequency that’s audible to our ears.
The only issue fir ne is Parys express is US based I’m in Uk.
What’s the dimensions ? do you think I could shrink wrap these and tuck them away behind my cars A Pillar trims, that’s where tweeters are housed and the only easy access point for the wiring ?
I don't have the dimensions but you can get an idea of the size of the ones I have from the attached image.
