	As long as it's not a 'flux capacitor' attached, that would make it an integrated 6dB/octave high pass filter. Not very efficient as filter, but probably does the job. Where does it come from ? Sounds like car audio stuff... Edited by Peter Jan - 28 September 2009 at 9:32pm

	New Post - Need assistance. Got a pair of Mackie C300z (the passive version of the SRM450. Both tweets are fried (.....never let a friend borrow your stuff....) Anyway, need to know how to access the tweeter to replace the diaphragms (I could go through the woofer hole, but is there another way?) and also want to install an inline fuse to prevent this from happening again. They are supposed to handle 300-700W. If I install an "automotive" type blade fuse assembly, what fuse rating would you recommend for the tweeters? Thanks.

	If you're looking at 'tweeters' you're almost certainly looking at completely the wrong end of the market for the cabinet designs on here.
