This is a 3 way crossover:
The biggest issue is that the two smaller coils dont have a label so i dont know the value.
I have drawn the circuit here:
is there a software or webpage that can put this circuit in, and it will tell me the corresponding frequencies? i will have to put in guess values for L1 and L2. maybe L2=1.5mH and L1 = 0.8mH?
the midrange is a tang band titanium wide bander. right now the tweeter is crossed over very low. i estimate somewhere in low 2k based on listening. i want to push it way way higher so that i am mostly listening to the wide bander and the tweeter kicks in much much higher. i also need to bring the tweeter level down 3 to 5 db. i am assuming that will be done by increasing that resistor value from 3 ohm. i know what an L pad is, but in here i only see one resistor for thre entire network. i could add additional resistors if needed. I have those fancy dayton audio 20Watt 1% resistors in 10ohm, 5.6 ohm and 2.3 ohms.
For the woofer i need to figure out what is the cut off currently. i am planning to use the
the orignal woofer says on it: BC143G. i thought its some B&C. but i cant find anything about it.

lol i didnt know that. im gonna get on it right now. i have two multimeters. do i need to disconnect the component or can i measure while its connected to other components?
edit: my two multimeters dont have measurments for inductance. at least there is no label that indicates it. there is V , A , ohm and capacitance and diode

yes i thougt its obvious that all negatives connetc to the negative of the input so every negative for each driver connects to the node of black wires which is the negative input. can be seen in the picture
People seeing your post can't know that you have a correct schematic, unless you show all of it.
Many schematics posted here have mistakes.

i got you and you are right. i just installed VituixCAD and i am putting this crossover in. i dont know why they used a wide bander here and then use it in such narrow band. according to vituix this driver is being cutoff barely above 2khz. seems like a weird choice to me. why not just use a mid bass driver instead of the full range driver. ? so weird. i bypassed the entire crossover and listened to the driver direrctly out of amplifier. it seems to me to be completely capable all the way to above 10khz.
Do you need to do anything further than getting the values.. are you looking for the filter responses?
ok from vituix i learned that if i change the 5.1 micro farad capacitor to 1, it will do what i want.
i will also change that 3ohm resistor to 5.6 ohms. But i think i will send this speaker to danny richie of gr research. if he accepts it that is.

Kind of rude if you ask me to remove completely first post to spoil all other posts.
