| # Speaker Project # Prototyping the Crossover

> > > Before we start, a short word about prototyping the crossover. A crossover is a hard thing to prototype because you need very low impedance connections. Lots of alligator clips are not a good thing. I've ended up using special connectors that screw down. I solder the base of the connector and use the screw-downs to get low impedance (but easy to change connections). Here's a closeup of the technique.
