Zobel network

Having to build my own crossover, I have come across to tweak my crossover by adding a zobel network. From my understanding, a zobel network helps flatten the impedence curve of a speaker to nominal. With the impedence curve flat, the phase of the speaker comes close to in-phase or 0%.

Since this tweak is very simple, does anyone know of anyone of any speaker company that uses this network or have modified a speaker with a zobel network?

Thanks

I know that Roy Johnson of Green Mountain Audio uses a zobel on most/all his speakers. I don't know whether or not he'll divulge the details.
2 other places I have seen zobel networks: printed manual from Partsexpress.com & on the Adire Audio website. In fact, on the Adire Audio website he has some equations & design procedure. Take a look there.
A 3rd place to look: Member "pjay" on AudioAsylum/SpeakerAsylum has his own speaker building site. He contributes regularly to that forum & you should be able to get some help from him.
Hope that this helps.
