Hello
Forgive me if some of these questions were gone over before. I do use and have used the search engine.
I am doing some research to rebuild the crossovers in a pair of L166 and L300 based on the bandpass circuit located here.
After doing some research on the resistors I am trying to decide on some quality resistors. I was looking at the Dayton DNR resistors. There is no problem getting the values for the L166. For the L300 I can not find the watt value. The highest I can seem to find is 10 watt and the bandpass calls for values in the 20 and 40 watt range. Now for some this may be a simple question but does the wattage matter or would the 10 watt perform as needed.
If anyone has suggestions on quality resistors for the values needed I would appreciate any info.
On the inductor side would you use foil or wire wound? Also the .16mh inductor. I can find .15mh inductors all over but doing a search I can not find a .16mh.
The caps I have purchased are ampohm. Research seems to point to good price to performance. Would they still benefit from being bypassed?
Also I would like to rewire the speakers. Is one wire preferred over another?
Doing all the research on this stuff has my head spinning. Thanks for any info it is appreciated and I am sure there will be more questions in the future.
Tks

Edit Another question. The 077 tweeter even if it ohms within range would it benefit to change out the diaphragms? Same for the 066. The 066 would have to be replaced with the recommended 052TI.
Also do the Lpads go bad? I lubricated them some time ago with Caig and they seem to work fine.
Again Tks
