I will, but the lowpass one was sooooo wrong i did it all over again.
I will wait before it's all screwed on and done properly but for now i feel like i will have to use a l-pad or something, tweeters are super loud compared to the woofers... *for the moment not being screwed in* also the jack plate behind isnt screwed yet, so lots of leaks air at the moment lol

This one is a good choice if i choose to add a l-pad?

I'd bridge both chanels since its stereo to get 4ohm like mentioned in the build doc.

What in the world are you talking about?

If you bridge a stereo amp, you no longer have stereo - it's mono. Please explain carefully what you are doing.

Do you understand the terms you are using?

haha omg no don't worry, sorry i will try to describe better but i was talking about bridging that l-pad lol, since they are just 8ohm available, in the doc it says you can wire pins together to get 4ohm instead. (just the l-pad)

That's fine, easily able to handle the power to the tweeters.

On another subject... i can use just the left chanel for now to test the cabinet ? Right chanel is at 0 on the crown poweramp, chanel 1 is around 2/10 turn.
I figure yes since in stereo mode they act as 2 separate amps in 1, so just using left chanel for now is ok?
I don't see any choice to select the ohm rating of the speaker connected to it..
Crown xls 2505

Ok thank you, maybe a better model out there? I still want nice clear high freq, just not as loud as this :S

In the build doc it says use gasket tape to screw the tweeters, is this really needed? I would add it but they comes on straight stripes of tape and the holes are circles so i have to make a circle out of it or something? Picture somewhere maybe?

Or i just use some like this?

Don't want to introduce any leaks...

Is this fancy enough?

Just stick in a couple of 90 degree jacks plugs that aren't wired up at all.

You don't have to select an ohm rating. The amp will "know" the load attached to it.

Speaker cabs have a nominal impedance, in your case, 4 ohms. But impedance varies with frequency, so it is nearly impossible to set an amp for that...

Yea ok makes sense
Theses neutrik plugs looks so nice! thanks !!

Removing the screw, i can see it damages a little the membrane, i'm using #8 screws, i guess it's fine but is it possible to do it without any damage?

If I understand you correctly, you are commenting on the membrane at/in the screw hole? If yes, then, that is nothing to worry about since it is "left-overs" from past the gasket.

yes i refer to the membrane in the screw hole, thanks for confirming
