Stee-Z Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Since i am going to be needing crossovers fro my neew mids/highs....can someone tell me exactly wtf they are and how they work! haha. I know I should know more about them but crossovers are the only thing i realy have no knowledge about, so be simple and make it easy to understand please! thanks!

Azagtoth502 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 the thingamabob that directs specific frequencies to specific speekers.

Loslam Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 In basics....they're just resistors, capacitors, and inductors Probably didn't help ya though lol Quote 1997 Chevrolet Silverado Extended Cab, 350 Vortec Things to come at some point...

Emmet Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Audio crossovers are a class of electronic filter used in audio applications. Most individual loudspeaker drivers are incapable of covering the entire audio spectrum from low frequencies to high frequencies with acceptable relative volume and lack of distortion so most hi-fi speaker systems use a combination of multiple loudspeakers drivers, each catering to a different frequency band. Crossovers split the audio signal into separate frequency bands that can be separately routed to loudspeakers optimized for those bands. Active crossovers allow drivers covering different frequency ranges to be powered by separate amplifiers, a configuration known as bi-amping.

Noobtastic14 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Keeps your tweeter from playing woofer frequencies and your woofer from playing bass frequencies. Its the thing that keeps each speaker playing its respective frequencies. -Drew Quote I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

Jaloosk Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 They are frequency filters. They protect your tweeters from bass, your subwoofers from highs and your mids from extreme highs and lows. Basically, they filter out frequencies that the driver behind the crossover wasn't designed to reproduce. Quote "Cheap, good or fast. You can only pick two out of three." "Have money? Love story!

Loslam Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) At low frequencies a capacitor is an open circuit, high frequencies short circuit -> so as the frequency(Hz) goes down output gets smaller and smaller until nothing(theoretical) Not 100%, but pretty sure inductors are oppositely related to capacitors in those terms edit: yes, impedance on inductor goes up as frequency increases, so as your Hz goes up, output again gets smaller and smaller until nothing Edited March 3, 2012 by Loslam Quote 1997 Chevrolet Silverado Extended Cab, 350 Vortec Things to come at some point...

Stee-Z Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 so basicly right now why when i turn my volume to its normal. My crappy pioneers always want to pick up lows my sub cant even pick up....? and the crossover will illimnate this as I take it Quote (4)DD 9918's (2)DC 10k 8 6.5" focals 2 DD SS4 mid amps Audison Bit One processor Jl-cl-rlc line driver iPad in dash Dual Irragi 320a alts 8 batcaps 4000's Second Skin sound deadened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
