Series Cross-Over for Better Frequency Cut-off Between Drivers

One thing that I loved about a good full-range drivers is I don't have to calculate and experiment the cross-over values. But in most cases, the one pair full range speaker cannot give fuller frequency band. Especially for the car audio system, in this listening space, it is require multi driver to reach the full band audio frequency. As you may have the same experience like I did, designing the cross-over in multi way speaker system may takes so much time and money. This is including trial and error from different value of components and hear the effect to the sound. I used to experimented the parallel  cross-over  configuration for long time. This parallel cross-over means each driver has the same input from the amplifier, configures in parallel. It  is more difficult to design, especially if it set into higher order frequency slope. The most problem with this parallel  cross-over is the  frequency response between the drivers is hard to blend each other ...

Power Line C-L-C Filter For Car Audio

Inspired by the great looking of Pioneer Carrozeria RD-7X, I would like to build this power line filter by myself. This power line is usually for clean up the ripple cause from the alternator of the car. Main purpose for this unit is for cleaner power line to the car's head unit. Since this is very simple project,  I could dig all the components from my bin and the cost for building this is almost nothing.
