Simple crossover question!

Ok, I have a pretty simple crossover... but I don't remember what wires go to what! Here's what I can tell you:

One wire comes from input and has just a connector on the end

One wire comes from input and has a 100v 3mfd cap on it

One wire comes from input and has a 100v 5mfd cap on it, and a small coil


I figure the one with nothing on it is the sub, but the other two I'm not sure! What one goes to the tweeter, and what one goes to the mid?

the wire is probably for the sub, the one with a cap and an inductor (coil) is for a mid, the one with just the cap is for a tweet.

wow, that IS a simple crossover. A full range woofer, with a 1st order on the mid and tweeter with absolutely no impedance compensation or notch filters.

What kind of drivers are those? They must either have very smooth rolloff and impedance characteristics, or that's one **** poor crossover.

It's a MTX box that I found it a parts car. 2 12" subs, 2 5" mids, and two 2" tweets. I probably won't use it, but I wanted to clean it up and actually solder the connections (all were just crimped, and kinda loose!)
