What are all the trade-offs of
#1 putting the tweeter pad at the tweeter or
#2 at the input to the crossover.
#3 I have even seen designs with both
#4 or use of an L-pad ( at either location)
Obvious, if at the tweeter, crossover components are smaller and cheaper, but it is a lot harder to vary the level (redo the crossover)
If at the input, easy to change levels, amp may like it.
I am really looking are sonic issues. Is the difference in damping relevant? Make a zobel not necessary, effect on ringing if any. That kind of stuff. Final design decision.
