Re: 6 dB per Octave Passive Crossovers
Well, would have to side with OG somewhat.....very subjective maybe OT in the strictest sense. However I did this same route some years back and here's my... as Mah put it..."unsubstantiated impressions". If memory serves I used 511s/808s/416s. 10-15ohm resistor to pad down the HF drivers along with a 8-10uf cap and a 1uf bypass cap. The 416 was hooked up straight with no inductor. The mid and HF sounded fairly opened and detailed. However the bass for many would probably be considered thin, anemic. When I supplimented the bass with 18" B52's subs, everything seemed to (suprisingly) come together. Again...totally unsubstantiated and subjective to personal opinion , room acoustics , program material to name a few! I do think it is instructive to listen to individual drivers at times with minimal crossover components connected though. Especially for (DIY) matching/diagnostic purposes. BTW..wecome to the forum Jeff!
