| Re: Beginner information on crossovers
Just to complicate your learning curve, you can take apart almost any inexpensive two-way speaker and I'd bet 90% or possibly more have only a single capacitor in series with their tweeter and the "midrange" fed with the full signal. That's it, the whole crossover is one component.
Those speakers were designed with "cost" as the primary objective, not sound quality.
The manufacturer has the advantage to at least match the sensitivity of the two drivers. (maybe)
The crossovers described in the initial link are probably an order of magnitude better than the single capacitor in series with the tweeter. And a correctly designed crossover is probably not much more complicated than those described in the link.... but often way better engineered.
Keep reading and learning... there are a ton of people with knowledge to share... many really know their stuff.
