yea cap. how do i choose which cap to use and at what uf?

47 to 68 microfarads is good. That is usually around 800hz and will protect most tweeters from the frequencies that cause damage.

Remember, it is there for protection, not to impact the actualy frequency response. So you want it less than your crossover, at least an octave.

Here is an actual calculator for it

Can one one point me to the right capacitors to buy to protect my tweeters against the possibility of turn-off pop? A link to something at partsexpress would be much appreciated.

You want a capacitor around 700-800hz.
A 47uf or 68uf cap are the normal ones to use as they give a 800hz or 600hz respectively for a 6db/oct cutoff on a 4ohm speaker. I went 47uf.

47uF 100V Electrolytic Non-Polarized Crossover CapacitorElectrolytic non-polarized (bi-polar) capacitors are perfect low-cost solutions for use in passive speaker crossovers. These capacitors feature axial leads, a 5% dissipation factor, and are rated at a 100 VDC working voltage which equates...

You don't want it too close to your dsp crossover cutoff otherwise it will impact that performance, but 600hz is plenty of protection for stupid on your tweeters for a couple of seconds.

i'm sorry but i am having a hard time understanding what is on the website u posted.

A 47uF bipolar electrolytic capacitor should be fine, can find them on partsexpress.

Yeah that website is a little in depth, sorry.
