Re: Crossover question(s)


Groan. I just finished reading most of those links. Let me see if I got this straight;

1. IF the crossover is designed right the speaker in question's power handling would be 105 (65+40) watts BUT if the crossover isn't designed right the tweeter will most likely suffer (melt) because of it.

2. The speaker's impedence depends on whether the tweeter or woofer is dominant - bouncing between 6 and 8 ohms in this case.

3. The impedance values for the rough formula is the impedence of each of the driver's at the crossover point.

4. It seems to me from the links that, yes, conjugate networks are the sum of their parts.

Is there any good free crossover design software? A crossover equivalent of Unibox or WinISD? I'm afraid of the number of capacitors and inductors I'll have to buy to do complete trial and error.
