TAD Crossover Question

High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

Hello,

I am currently using an active filter on a TAD 4003, crossing over with a 1st order slope at 750hz. I have a 33uf cap in series to protect the driver.

Could I ask a couple of questons? Firstly, is it safe ot use 1st order at that frequency with the TAD 4003? It's used in a domestic enviroment and levels are typically below 100db at 10 feet.

Secondly, given that the active crossover is providing a 1st order slope below 750hz, would I be correct in thinking that the series capacitor increases that to a 2nd order slope an octave below the crossover point?

Any advice much appreciated. I am getting good results but I am getting paranoid about the effects of 1st order!
