Hi.
I'm working on a schematic of the existing crossover associated with the Rotel RL-870 Loudspeakers.
Attached is a photo of the sandcast resistors
Instead of a value appearing next to the Ω symbol, there appears to be a W "WΩ" ???
The resistor is ALSO marked " 3R3-J 3W-K-8 "
Is there enough information on this resistor to identify its Ω value?

Thanks.
It was the resistance I was looking for.
Most resistors I use these days are minimum 5W & higher.
Don't know if 3W might be considered unsafe??
It depends on the application. I've used 1/4W resistors for tweeters, not recommending just making a point.
Does an Inductor need to be removed from a XO circuit to be properly tested on a meter?
All drivers have been removed from the circuit & wires aren't touching.
If this is the circuit - https://www.diyaudio.com/community/...the-rotel-rl-870-speakers.392272/post-7181548
and the drivers and amp are not connected then you can test any individual component without removing because they don't make a closed circuit.
