SnowDrifter Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 With the release of the cc-1: I started thinking... Assuming a 24db/octave crossover slope where the crossover frequency is -6db: couldn't one just set their amp gains, then play a track (say 60hz -10db), measure the output voltage, then adjust the crossover knob to get half of the original output voltage at said frequency(which im pretty sure is a -6db reduction)? Note: I'm sure the cc-1 is a great product. My question is simply one of theory and not of competition. ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
Decaf Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 Yes that's what you would do, although its at -3dB that the power is halved. The CC-1 is easier, and it gain matches.
Ray Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 Considering 1/2 the voltage would be roughly a 18db cut. Sure, we have been doing it this way for decades. But this is fast and very accurate, no chance for a mistake. 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

I agree on the cc-1. As I said: I'm just asking about the theory of it Fill me in on what you were thinking on the the -3db point - I thought a 24db/octave crossover had the power quartered at it's crossover point. ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
