Sorry, i only read last post...when you hit button jump to new. Keep experimenting. But if you have cellphone/smartphone, you can measure.
All else is guess.

Technically, its not l-pad. L-pad are two potentiometers in one, maintaining constant load to the amplifier.
But since you have 5 ohm before, your amp is safe.

As mentioned in post # 156, you are still ignoring (or are not listening for) the attenuated bass response of the upper woofer due to the series and parallel resistance you have added to it.
Best of luck with the ebay capacitor sales!

I'm very pleased with the midrange bass response. Sound of the upright string bass is well balanced with the upper piano notes.
Hi Allen,
I now understand how the resistor effects the sound. In the case of the resistor across the driver the lower resistance allows more of the signal to go to ground.
@henrylrjr Just to let you know: The link in your profile to www.hrcustommachining.com doesn't work - the domain doesn't resolve.
Thought I would share the schematic. Maybe it could provide some an idea of how to make an XO. The HF - to + and + to - is because the tweeter is reversed in this XO.

I don't know if you made it intentionally, but the input of the woofer low-pass L3 should be connected to the Amp (+) connector and not on that side of the coil L2 of the Midrange. Basically, in your diagram the woofer sees a higher inductance (6.5mH) and the x-over frequency between WF and Mid is lower. The slope and the level defined by the coil L2 are slightly modified too. See diagram below.
What he's saying is, in your schematic you also have the midrange going thru that 15 mH coil, according to your schematic your midrange wouldn't play much frequency above roughly 100 Hz. Either the schematic isn't correct or you aren't getting any vocals out of your midrange.
Sorry, got confused by the many schematics of this long thread and I did not notice the original filter topology was a 2.5 way.
Caps in the final midrange filter are 5.6, 6.8, 5.1, 2.7 and 1.5 for a total of 21.7uF
