New x-over

Tomv · 5th June 2005, 04:07 PM

I want to build (or to get someone to build for me) a new x-over for my speakers, I can pretty much say I don't know a thing about building a x-over or circuits and such, the only thing I know is you can or must determine the compenents by your drivers Thiele and Small and your box dimensions, I have about 500$ to spend on the whole thing, is that even enough?

I would like someone to shed light on this

Shed light on this,

Hmm...Where to start...

Are you familiar with the components in an XO? If not please tell us all that you know about the drivers you intend to use and perhaps someone can get you started.

Edit: Oops, that should read "tell us what you know about the drivers..."

Sorry, must have sounded a bit harsh.

And there comes the problem...

I know that I have a Philips AD 0161 T8 tweeter and a Peerless 821385 mid, the problem is that all I know about my woofer is that it's Goodmans old 12'r and I don't know what the model is I only know it's not a single driver like Axiom
