And, as the title will tell you, i am totally new to all this DIY speaker crossover lark. At the crossover point More recent design trends are for power to be decreased to -6 dB (1/4) to each loudspeaker at the crossover point, and the slope rate can be selected. Continuous enhancements with consideration of user feedback. Both of those things would incorporate a few (or lots of) buffer stages. Active crossover design and auditioning, also with capabilities to program a DCX2496. Electronic active crossovers can have extra compensating circuitry. Then you need to design active electronic custom crossovers, or use achieve the same use units such as Mini DSP. Crossover Points & Order At the crossover point, power to each loudspeaker is reduced -3 dB (1/2) so total sound energy is 1. I believe the title says it all. Then you need an amp for every frequency band the speaker requires. Some simple SPICE equivalent assessments can be conducted. In some passive crossovers this is adjusted for by reversing the polarity of adjacent loudspeakers. I have also wanted to design an active crossover, both as a kit and for my own projects.
