 Well I tweaked the design almost completely and am going to use a in-line variable BSC-type circuit. The response is similar, but less efficient than that. I've got most of the wood cut, but am going to go over it all again before I assemble. It might be a couple weeks because of school, etc.
The cabinet is going to be 14" - 8.5" - 10" (W*H*D), so a horizontal rectangle; there's less BSC used that way and I've always wanted "odd" speakers. I'm highly optimistic about this as I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out this whole shebang out.
Good thing is this doubles as a electrical physics project for my second semester physics class. =) |
By the way, the new design has a 2nd order electrical Butterworth @ 3100 (low pass), and a 3rd order electrical @ 3500 (high pass.) Both are third order acoustic. It's not a very "traditional" cross over by any means, but it's what needs to be.
After this experience, I don't see how people can just throw a random symmetrical crossover in a system somewhere in between both the driver and tweeter can play, it just doesn't seem like a good idea to me. I see a lot of crossover calculators online, and I wonder how many people are just using them?.. Oh well.
