Help needed on zobel

So, after a few days absent due to HD format, here I am again in the hope of getting some zobel networks! The prob now is I don't know the speakers inductance, L, and haven't come across a 20-20000Hz band pass zobel crossover (GlassWolf's MOST appreciated help) circuit on the net, plus don't have no way of finding the freq. "where the impedance doubles"! Yeah, I know it would be much easier and cheaper to just buy a new set of speakers, but then I wouldn't get my hands on it, which for me is most of the fun, not to mention getting some knowledge/experience from it. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!!!:-):-)

inductance and impedance you'll need to measure with a meater, scope, and signal generator.
or, just contact the mfgr and ask them. they probably have charts for each driver on hand.

why would you ned a filter for full range?
the purpose of the filter is to limit response for the drivers

Well they are full range speakers, or better, an woofer and a tweeter that are supposed to deliver the full range. As for the manufacturer, I can't seem to find the brand (Proaudio) anywhere on the net:-(:-(:-(

Found the model info (PR 6989) for the speakers, but can't find the brand, it says Proaudio on the label, rated at 350 W max...:-(
TIA

As for the filter, I got the impression that the idea was to equalize the impedances, but can we do it whitout loosing bandwidth?

well the point of teh filter is to cut out frequencies where the impedance increases, so no, not really.
what you may be better off doing is just building some second order filters for each speaker, then using 1/3 octave equalizers to shape the sound curve on an RTA afterward.
that way you can use the EQs to "fix" the curve and compensate for the shortcomings of the environment.

Something like a high pass x-over cutting at 100Hz? I think the prob is related to low impedance, wouldn't you say so? By the heat it generates, looks like somewhere at the low end the imp drops so much the amp sees it like a shunt... The fans worked (6) but drained the battery in a matter of hours, the amp still got burning, but no cuts, and also no battery, no alternator...:-(:-(:-(

may just not be a good amp.

Correction, it's a 4-way speaker set, which will give me too much hassle (?), so I'm thinking of buying some 2-way Boston's 6" * 9". Are they any good?
TIA
