Knowing what instrument and vocal frequency ranges fall between is a great way to set crossover points. For instance, male vocals as shown on the above chart go from 100 hz to around 2 khz for recoginition. Therefore, you want to try to plan your crossover points so that they don't interfere so much with whatever instruments/vocals you are trying to accurately reproduce. Also it is helpful in selecting drivers. For example, I listen to mostly hardcore/metal music and I love the double kick drums to be reproduced as tight and punchy as they can be with some authority. For my midbass drivers, I will use 8" or 10" drivers that can deliver that authority and "tight punchy" bass that I desire, as most 5" and 6" drivers can not deliver that type of authority at 50 hz to 70 hz. By knowing the frequency ranges of instruments and vocals, I will choose my drivers based on these frequencies as well as physical space limitations for the driver and enclosure.dontlookatme wrote:now show me how i would use this to tune my car?
