Im looking to pair them with the 10" woofers from the SM 102, since the crossover is set to 2250Hz, I figured they would be perfect to replace the obviously mismatched and over worked Polycell tweeters that generally are very nice sounding and last forever when used within their limits, maybe 4000Hz at lowest point but never should be used in a 10" 2 way design at least not with anything more than a 20 watt rating and especially not in a studio monitor speaker system. I thought that was a strange way to wire it, I would have thought the cap should be wired from the middle tab on the pot output? And it should have the woofer - connected to the left tab on the pot and the + connected to the right tab? (Woofer runs without any components at all directly to inputs) The thing is it's connected from the + then to the left tab on a potentiometer when viewing the backside. Just in case someone comes here hoping to find the crossover point of an EMIT tweeter I have the original crossovers and they are somewhat simplistic I design using a single 9.5mf capacitor. Just strange that they have two identical-looking speaker models crossed over in such different places But in both the Qe and the 1500e, the entire freq range goes to the bass as well, meaning it must act as a midrange as well. So the bass driver in my RS1500e must be a mid-bass, or at least fulfilling that role, to be crossed over at a very high 5khz. Looking at pictures of the Qe, the woofers look identical in every way, except that the part number is different. The crossover is also identical to the Qe, except for the values of the components. The bass driver, looking at it, is Part# 490849, is not a polypropylene cone but looks like some sort of treated paper - it is very course to the touch, almost sharp, and the surround is a rubber rather than a foam. Because i have the drivers and crossover from some RS1500e 2-way speakers (8" bass and Emit) which are crossed over at 5000hz. I was interested in the Qe crossover that Coastsider posted. I am glad to see the Emit is capable down to that lowish frequency. Thanks for replies, that is quite helpful.
