What capacitor values?


I have custom-made 3 way sealed box speakers with 12" Hokutone paper woofers run full range (wired directly to the speaker terminals).
The 5 1/2" Scanspeak Woofer/Mid has 1 capacitor with no coils, inductors or resistors.
The 1" silk dome Scanspeak Revelator tweeter has 1 capacitor with no coils, inductors or resistors.
What value capacitors would you suggest for the Mids and the Tweeters?
The existing capacitor values may not necessarily be ideal?

You might need an inductor on the woofer. What are the other cap values and why do you feel they are not the right value?
I tried to help you;) Didnt tell ya to shit can anything. Pretty hard to rework a network of a custom speaker that has no info available but what little you listed. You should be happy anyone took there time to post. And I design loudspeakers and yes we mostly use simple networks with costly parts or use no crossovers at all with some designs. Just that most 12in woofers have rising responce mostly arround 2khz up. So most 12in and larger woofers need at least a basic crossover to reduce this peak. I know of only a few that dont and these are costly alnico mag woofers aaa few vintage. Thus the inductor sugestion which would be sudo 1st order no phase shift -6db slope. And still might improve your sound quality.
