Hi Everyone! This is my first post on the forums. I'm taking a linear electronics class on coursera.com, and I'm finding it very interesting, and not really as hard at I thought it would be.
The first project I would like to make is a crossover network for a speaker. This seems like a great starting point, since as far as I can tell, all I need to do is to design a high, low, and bandpass filter. Would I be correct in thinking that the equiv. impedance of the total circuit (including speaker) should be 4 or 8 ohms?
Also, I'm concerned about the component selection. There are so many different types of capacitors, and resistors. Electrolytic, thin film, etc. Also power rating. Then inductors - should I try to wrap my own? Maybe my first project should be to learn how to use my oscilloscope.
Anyway, I'm very excited about the whole thing! Any help or advice you can give me would be very appreciated!
Thank you!
James
