Crossover Freq

Post by soth »

Hey,

What are your thoughts on a bottom end x-over point on a 406a. The speakers are a 6.5 IDQ's. Right now i've got them at 80hz and was thinking about going down to 65-70hz to see how they sounded. They range from 40hz to 425 I believe.

Thanks

you should be good to around 63hz,i would not go any lower depending on how high your sub goes and the sub level. you can roll off the sub lower then raise the level a bit to blend back in.

Sounds good. Now time to either build some custom rnets or see if digi key or mouser has some already built close to the feq I need.

thanks,

I wonder if it would be possible to solder a pot into one to make it adjustable?
what else can I say I am a grumpy asshole most of the time.
