Ah, I see! I think it is starting to slowly sink in...
How do i parallel the caps to each other but the same time put them in series to the tweeter? And what does it do compared to the arrangement i had in my last post?

Use the schematic as published by @6L6 fill in the right values, so C1 will be 20uF, connect the 0.22 cap in parallel with the 20uF cap. This will give a total value of 20.22uF for C1.

Like this?

 

[kor952]

Yes like that, if you also exchange the position of the cap and the coil of the woofers it will be perfect.

 

[ehyfatboy]

You mean put the coil to the left of the cap. the same way it is in the diagram @6L6 posted? Then it is 100% correct?

 

[kor952]

Yes that is what I mean. Then it is 100% OK.

How come there is two caps at the tweeter circuit? Could they be replaced with one 22uF capacitor instead? Jantzen have a 22uF caps. However, they are not cheap. But the Jupiter Wax ain't cheap either. Would there be a benefit?

They are 20,22 not 22uF. The smaller one of better quality is there to sweeten the sound a bit to the designers taste.

Nice baffle! Sorry, i have an active crossover and individual amps for each driver, which is very good to lift the low end to my likings.

Hi, Are you using DSP for you active crossover?

This is a very interesting thread which has got me considering building something again.
I don't think I've seen it posted, but what size baffle are people using.
In addition is there a dipole tweeter the could be used as a replacement for the Dayton Audio RST28F-4 1-1/8"?

@housemd / @kor952
Can you share baffle drawings?
I can not figure out how to position the driver cut outs from top or bottom of the baffle.
