Mario928 Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Not really understanding what it means to "calibrate crossover settings on an amp". A demo vid would be nice, in stupid-plain english for me please. I'm with you. Everyone is stating they want one, but what exactly does it do? I have an idea, but I'm still not 100%.

audiofanaticz Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Ok, so a noob question here. Can't you play a 28hz tone and just turn the subsonic until it stops producing sound and then turn back until sound comes back? NO, because if you tried playing a 28hz track for example, and turned your subsonic filter to where the 28hz is no longer heard or have your woofers moving, your subsonic filter would be set in the mid to high 30s due to the 12-24db octave depending on amp,(sundown, crescendo, american bass, dc, dd, etc) have a 24db octave.

sayhuh? Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) Its not a on off switch man. You guys should read on how a xover works and what db per octave means. So, basically (prob another stupid response lol), it doesn't 'cut' out, but makes the signal weaker of any freq played below 28hz. Signals may still be played below the subsonic setting of 28hz, but the crossover will keep the signal from being an amplified signal, keeping damage from occurring to said speaker? Low pass filter at 100hz, keeps amplified signal above that from being sent to speakers and HPF set 100hz allows for only amplified signal above 100hz to be sent. So, a crossover is used to separate amplified signal (or signal)to the appropriate speakers? If I am way off, can someone give me a place to read on this? I find one site, but it was meh and this is what I got from it lol. EDIT: Was typing this as you posted AudioF. LoL. This is why Steve and them are making this. I like the idea behind it, but want to know what I'm doing when I use it. The higher the octave, the more control? Edited November 11, 2011 by sayhuh?

Ray Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) Xovers do not add to a freq. Lol An octave is the doubling or halving of a freq. Db per octave means this... Say a 18db per octave xover Set to 100hz lowpass.. Means at 200hz it is 18db down from 100hz 400hz would be 36db down Setting a sub or infra sonic to 30hz at 24db means that at 15hz its 24db down Setting a highpass filter at 3000hz at 24db means that at 1500hz its 24db down Hope that helps a little Edited November 11, 2011 by Ray Quote 2008 California state record holder 157.2 Bassrace2009 California state record holder 157.0 BassraceRollin 50's 158.7db2009 King of Cali Bassrace2009 USACi score 160.5 @ 42hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This helps. I never really looked into it much, but never had to. It's more of interest to me now, but back in the mid to late 90s, I never did any of it on my own. (showing my age). Any where to read some good info on this? Quote Blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
