help with home type audio
Long story short, I had an enclosure that housed 1 12" sub, 2 6" mids, and 2 horn tweeters. Its primary and only use was during Mardi Gras. Well that time of the year is here again, however my enclosure has been misplaced.
I need to build another one quick and need to keep the budget down. I run it off of a home stereo reciever and the last one I built used home stereo type crossovers but for the life of me I can't remember what type or model I used all I know is they came from Parts Express. Hopefully someone with some knowledge of home audio speaker building can help me out here. Here is what I have, the box is built, I have an MB Quart DVC 12" sub, 2 6" 8ohm Selenium mids, and 2 8ohm horn tweeters. What I need is a cheap way of running a bandppass crossover to the 6's I was thinking of something in the 150-3k range, one for the sub to go from 150 down, and something to push the horns from 1500 or 2k up. If it helps, these are the tweeters http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...number=272-104 These are the 6" mids http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...number=264-422 I am open to different x over points. I know there is a way to run capacitors and things like that inline to act as crossovers, I am just trying not to spend another $60 buying crossovers. Any help or suggestions would be a big help. |

Re: help with home type audio
Doesn;'t sound like too bad of crossover points (it's been a while),
You can just get away with Capactiors for the higher end stuff (mids/highs). Can't remember the values for the crossover points, but a lower one for the MIDS to eliminate the lows and a slightly higher one for hte tweeters. maybe 100uF and 22uF info http://www.members.shaw.ca/loudspeak...crossover.html
