Tweeter - which has smaller diameter produces high frequency sounds. Woofer- which has larger diameter
produces low frequency sound. For purpose of circuit analysis, we can take both speakers to be of
equal resistance R. The equivalent circuit is shown in the figure. The 2 speakers are connected to the
amplifier via capacitance and inductance respectively. The capacitor in tweeter branch blocks the low
frequency sound but passes the high frequency. The inductor in woofer branch does the opposite.
