Got the tweeters today and started experimenting.
They were first connected with a 1.3uF capacitor in series with them giving a crossover point of 20KHz. The sound was fairly harsh at the top end, as the capacitor is giving 6dB attenuation at 10KHz which isn't that much with such a high SPL of the Daytons.
I tried various resistor networks to attenuate the tweeters, but still no good. I am currently listening with just a 1uF cap in series (25KHz crossover), this sounds nice at the very top end, but still a bit bright further down.
I am thinking of creating a Second Order crossover to create a steeper roll off. If I add a 0.072mH inductor across the tweeter and keep the 1uF cap, that would give me a crossover at about 18600Hz and a 12dB attenuation at 9300KHz. Any thoughts?
