What happens when you have two crossover's in a row??


Recommended Posts

Say you have a mid that has a built in crossover, then you put a external crossover before it??? I know it will eat up more power but does it change you crossover points??? I was just thinking of this out of the blue, so what happens?

All BS aside, If I see one more comment in here that is NOT about the pre-sale, I will start the vacations. And that includes the trolls feeding the trolls.

YOU THE ONE THAT SOUND LIKE A OGER AND HUMPBACK/TROLLS?

i would think it would act like a bandpass crossover but thats just a guess on my part

Btw that was the first person. Ever banned by me while dropping a deuce. Feel privileged

a bandpass is a hp/lp built in to one filter

a cross over + crossover in series, its a different effect

If you have a 6db hp and another 6db hp depending on crossover points you could accidentally create a 12db hp or a notch filter.

Basically its not what you think it is

I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.

I was reading into a bit of the stuff you said, and it makes some sense.....Anyone else got more insight?? Say you have to crossover's that both individually would give you a 70Hz HPF, if you where to have them series'd would it change that 70Hz HPF point?

the crossover point won't change it will just change the slope. when in series you can basically think of the first crossover affecting the signal from the amp and the second crossover affecting that signal. So you have your original signal highpassed at 70hz, then that signal again highpassed at 70hz. So same crossover point just double the attenuation slope. If you change the crossover frequency of one of them then again you just have to imagine that the first attenuation occurs at one frequency and then the second at the other.

Hope that helps!
