Hi guys!.
I am a newbie at diy audio, so I try to read and understand as many crossover designs I can.
I noticed that almost everyone at their designs is giving only the number of the electrical resistance(aka ohm) of the resistors but no one gives us the wattage of the resistor.
Is the wattage irrelevant?
I mean, can I use a 4ohm/5watt resistor instead of a 4ohm/10watt resistor and the result will be the same?
Troels gravesen uses only 10watt mox resistors, should I follow his path?
Are there any hints like 5w for tweeter? 10w for notch? 5w in series, 10w in parallel?
