Inductor swap & resonance filter bypass last night I replaced the stock (1.4 ohm) 10mh inductor with a 0.1 ohm model. I figure this would throw off the tuning of the resonance filter, so I disconnected the filter. I sealed the cabinet back up and played a little music. Sorry to say that...

I'm interested in the impact on the woofer alignment will be in replacing the existing 10mh series inductor with a low DC resistance version. Replacing the stock 1.4 ohm coil with a 0.1 ohm one will change the Qes significantly. This will alter the aligment, f3, transient response, etc. Can...

Notch Filter Impact I'm concerned that the existing woofer crossover CLR filter is designed to remove a resonance in the existing design that would change if low resistance inductors were installed. The resonance would probably change so the filter design should too. But I don't have the...

Inductor resistance as part of bass alignment I've read that adding resistance in series with the woofer can be used to get deeper bass (lower the f3 frequency) but it seems to me this comes at the expense of some dB loss and some impairment of the transient response. To me leaving the stock...

I'm also considering replacing the 10mH inductors in series with the woofers in my ML ReQuests. I suspect they are over 1 ohm DC resistance. I have my eye on the Jantzen 10mH 14 AWG C-Coil Toroidal Inductors are available on Amazon that have about 0.1 ohms DC resistance. Making this change...

Low resistance inductor? Tosh, it sounds like you were considering the replacement of relatively high resistance inductors. I'm also considering replacing the 10mH inductors in series with the woofers in my ML ReQuests. I'm curious if you (or anyone else) can comment on this idea. Jantzen...
