4500X Reference Build
The supplied factory and 4500X circuits are the fixed references. Your Build starts with their 4500X component values and your measured 3636 spans; changing autoformer finds the closest shared input and output taps.
Tap connections
| 4500X Reference | Your Build | Difference | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Autoformer | 3636-style simulation model | 3636 · 3636-archived-dats | Measured span dataset |
| Input / common | Y / 0 · 60.40 mH | 0-Y · 70.65 mH | 17.0% L |
| Squawker output | 0–1 · -11.04 dB | 0-1 · -11.11 dB | -0.07 dB |
| Tweeter output | 0–1 · -11.04 dB | 0-1 · -11.11 dB | -0.07 dB |
The input capacitor feeds the shared input. The swamping resistor and compensation coil connect from that input to common, as shown in the source circuit. Driver filter branches connect to the listed outputs. Tap ratios use measured L from one dataset. Copper DCR is unknown; copper loss is omitted.
Component changes
The supplied values remain selected until you apply an evaluated alternative. Evaluation compares both driver voltage responses against the 4500X Reference from 250–4500 Hz.
| Part | 4500X Reference | Evaluated alternative | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Input capacitor (C4) | 30 µF | 30 µF | Retain supplied value. |
| Swamping resistor (R7) | 10 Ω | 10 Ω | Retain supplied value. |
| Compensation coil (L7) | 4 mH | 4 mH | Retain supplied value. |
Combined magnitude error: 0.03 dB RMS with supplied values; 0.03 dB RMS with evaluated values. This is a limited component search, not a global optimum or acoustic validation.
Electrical response comparison
Electrical simulation into the resistor loads in the ASC files. Factory and reference traces preserve their component values, connectivity, coupling, and specified series resistance. Your Build uses an ideal tapped-transformer approximation with measured input L and tap ratios. These traces are not acoustic SPL or measured response; driver sensitivity is not included.

Supplied paired schematics. Source: Type E2.asc. The seven-section reference autoformer is identified as 3636-style from its modeled ratios; it is not the measured 3636 dataset.

Download original ASCSimulations use a complex nodal circuit solver with mutual coupling. A numerical 10 nΩ series term regularizes ideal inductors. Source files and model resistance values are preserved separately from measured copper DCR.
