I would not cross the mid higher. It will start to beam. Plug that's way to high for a mid to be playing. Take the passive out. Run it active and cross everything a bit lower to start ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I misread it. That would still be to high for my liking. That tweeter has an fs of 1100. So passing ot even at 2200 or 2500 would be optimal. Making sure of course you can the tweeter to protect it ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also when you do time alignment do you change the speaker level on either side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you use a 24db slope you cross the tweeter right where you cut off the midrange and ot should blend ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just having a cheap pair of 150$ components sounds amazing with .Flac files. I couldn't imagine hearing an actual SQ build.

White Lightning Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Never never run a 2 way active or passive setup at a 24db slope. Adjust both mids and highs to a 12 dB slope and leave it there.

It's what I've always done unless I can't get the mid and tweeter blend correctly then I'll cross at a 12db slope and cross the tweeter a few hundred hz higher than I have the mid crossed at.
