@pbnaudio and others. The two 8 inch woofers are parallel wired. I have drawn out the circuit and taken photos of the board. Please take a look. The 1000uf caps, smaller inductor, and 8 ohm resistor all seem to be included parallel to the amps output to raise the impedance of the bass filter. Two 8 ohm woofers in parallel would deliver a net impedance of 4 ohms. The builder wanted to keep the speaker friendly to tube amps and thus implemented this impedance filter. The speaker is 6 ohms nominal. I am not sure if this impedance filter reduces the impedance peaks of the vent/port and drivers or raises the nominal woofer impedance the amp sees? Or both?
Question. Will the quality of the parts in this impedance filter impact bass quality? On paper it seems like no, but I know from experience they can very well have an impact on sound quality. Thanks in advance.
