So, I had a go at designing my own crossover. Or maybe just trying to do something that has to do with crossover-design 🤓 But when add some capacitors and inductors, nothing happend with the frequenzy curve. So I found a diagram (picture 1 below) and did the exact same thing (picture 2 below) and still nothing happend. Is there something wrong with my settings? From what I have seen Youtube-toutorials the frequenzy-curve will change when you add different values to the components.

Did you load .frd and .zma files under S1 & S2 tuning? Did you select S1 & S2 in the charts and not 'driver only'?
Yes to both 🙂 I could see the impedance-curve move, but that also stopped. I wonder if there is something wrong with the program.....
I see changes.
Try a generic setup. Just drop in a speaker or two and put in a basic crossover. What happens. Don’t load frd or zma files.

you seem to have connections right across components in picture 2...and what is behind such high x-over point looks like 2,8 K?
I don't know how to design a crossover yet, the first picture is just somethiing I found online so don't pay attention to the crossover-points or what kind of crossover. I am just trying to learn how to use Xsim and did a replica of the one I found online (picture one) 🙂 But as you can see the curves are not the same even though all the components and values are the same.
I tried dropping in two speakers and when it changes (see pictures below when I have changed value on S1 capacitor)! So, why don't that happend when have the speakers loaded with frd and zma files? I am going to try a project with Dayton Audio AN25f tweeter and RS100 mids in my car, so I loaded in the frd and zma files to each speaker before trying to change values of the components.

Or is there something with the information on the speakers I do wrong? Here is what I uplaoded on the tweeter:
I see now what I did wrong, almost everything was shorted 😳 Did'nt know the line through the components ment it was shorted.you seem to have connections right across components in picture 2...and what is behind such high x-over point looks like 2,8 K?
