What do I set my crossover at?


Recommended Posts

I will run the front stage of the CFX23 to the 5 1/4 Boston components. The passive crossover will still be used and handle the tweeter/midrange split. (ignore the passive x-overs in the pic, the stock Boston units will be used)

The rear stage of the CFX23 will be ran in band pass mode and supply output to the 8" mid-bass.

What would you guys do? I was going to do 600HZ high pass and 60-600HZ bandpass, but I'm worried about a peak where they overlap.

Where are the midbass drivers ??

The pic shows two 3/4" tweets, two 5 1/4" midrange drivers and an 8" driver. I am using the 8" as the mid bass. The passive crossovers in the pictures are 3 way, and ARE NOT going to be used. I'm going to use the passive crossovers that originally came with the Boston tweets and midranges.

I need to high pass the 5 1/4" component sets. (probably around 600HZ?)

I need to bandpass the 8" mid bass. (60-600HZ?)

This is not fully active, rather a combination of active and passive.

Dang, I was hoping for a pair of 8" drivers ...

Yes, I will try and help with crossover freq. Just asking a few questions first to help you out brother.

Single 8 for mid bass ??? Where do you plan to install it.

You really need a pair of drivers ...

Ideally there should be twice the mid bass as midrange and highs correct. I will have 50wrms of tweeter per door, 50wrms of midrange per door and 100wrms mid bass per door. Technically I have twice the mid bass, I've just used a non-typical arrangement of driver efficiencies to maximize my available amplifier power.

Also EACH DOOR will receive two tweets, two 5 1/4"s and one 8" as pictured...

Four 15" Boston acoustics G2's
