2.3 Wiring
The tweeter operates at 8 Ohms impedance and includes a built-in polyester metalized film capacitor. This capacitor acts as a high-pass filter, protecting the tweeter by limiting low frequencies. Connect the tweeter to your amplifier or crossover network, ensuring correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). Incorrect wiring can lead to phase issues and reduced sound quality.
