I am very interested in building a Ellam-XT, and are searching components for the crossover at this point, however, I met several problems which I cannot find answer.
Project is Here.
Here is Ellam-XT crossover schematic:
- Quote ¡°Only a few changes compared to the Ellam 9800 version. Un-wind 3.3 mH to 3.0 mH.¡±, I am not quite understand this part, I didn¡¯t find Ellam version has an 3.3mH Coil. Is there an early version which has a 3.3mH Coil for Ellam design?
- I am on the trouble to select parts. If my understanding is right. I should use some high grade components (Tolerance max 2%?) on L2011, R1011, R1051, C1021 and C1041. The rest of components I can just take normal components (Tolerance max 5%?), am I right? Anything missing?
- For 3.0mh L2031, I didn¡¯t find the resistance of coil, does it means I should count in L2031 resistance value. Let¡¯s say, if I choice an 0.5 ohm L2031, I should reduce R2031 from 8.2 ohm to 7.7.
- Again, for L2031, I am not quite understand why Troels suggest to un-wind 3.3mh to 3.0mh since there are some Coil have the exact 3.0mh value in Jantzen Audio Coil list.
- For L2011 and L1031, the resistance are all 0.2ohm. If I use some nice Coil which has only 0.1ohm, do I need to add an extra 0.1ohm resistance.
Really hope I can get answer from here since there are many nice people here who can help a new guy like me. And I apologize for I may asked some stupid questions.
Thanks in advance!

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

This may simply mean that if you can't find a 3.0mH coil you could buy a more common 3.3mH inductor and unwind it until you reach 3.0mH
