whazoo84 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Wondering if anyone here has some good recommendations as to some nice 2 way crossovers. Gonna be using them with some DD AW5.25's with AT28's as the tweets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06RTCharger Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Dont crossovers normally have to be made for specific speakers? Do people normally interchange brands of crossovers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06RTCharger Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 You dont like the DDaudio CC1 or the CC2? They have those passive crossovers, $150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do people normally interchange brands of crossovers? Each crossover has its own characteristics (slopes, cutoff frequencies, tweeter boosts, etc), but you can 'plug' any speaker into any crossover. Whether or not you get a desirable effect is dependent on all the details of the speaker and crossover.

White Lightning Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 If you're running a 5.25" driver (if I read that correctly), I'd be very careful as to what crossvover to use.

Yeah I was going to do active, but I was thinking about building my own crossovers for the speakers. The thing is I don't really have time to do that. 1 hour ago, White Lightning said: If you're running a 5.25" driver (if I read that correctly), I'd be very careful as to what crossvover to use. Choose wisely. More info with your goals would help ... Goal is to be loud and sound natural, nothing coloring the sound. I was looking for some crossovers that were made better than stuff like 20$ swiss audio crossovers. I wanted something made right and nice, without having to build it myself (in which I would go full out Nichicon MUSE). 12 hours ago, 06RTCharger said: You dont like the DDaudio CC1 or the CC2?

They might claim to be made with good parts, but I tried finding the manufacturers and I can't find them openly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't even attempted time alignment myself and I'm pretty happy...I just know if DD wanted these on a passive it would have been supplied..
