mustang guy Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) I just yanked one of my AL-3's for inspection and discovered that there is a slight difference between the published diagram and this crossover. Here is a picture. One of the 2uF caps and the 500uH choke are reversed between the +/- (see picture). Does this have any effect? Picture of my actual network.

WMcD Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 No difference in the series circuit performance whatsoever. You can consider that the current flow through the series circuit changes direction with the positive half of a sine wave and the negative half. Therefore by this way of thinking, which component is on top (connected to the plus) and which is on the bottom (connected to the minus) is always changing. In a philosophical way. Of course it doesn't make a difference. Being persnickety, if you used an oscilloscope to measure the phase of the voltage at the junction between the components relative to the voltage input, you'd probably be able to detect a difference, right there. But this will not affect the effect of the circuit. WMcD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
