3-way setup

shaunly · 30th August 2005, 08:12 AM

hey everybody, I'm in the process of building a 3-way monitor setup for my room. I choose a 3-way because i wanted good midrange that's brought up and detailed and also i can use the datyon 8" woofer that i have. I do not want to use a sub so I figure a 1cuft tune to 35hz should be fine for music. Anyways, here's how I have it hook up right now.

LCY110 HP @ 3khz w/ 12db slope
Dayton Reference 6" LP @ 2.5khz w/ 12db slope and HP @ 200hz w/12db
Datyon 8" dvc woofer LP @ 160 w/ 6db slope.

What do you guys think about this setup. I currently have one side all hooked on the right channel and it sounds really good to me. Im using my Eclipse CA8454 3-way crossover in my room as an active setup, but once i decide on what to do I will built the crossover.

Another thing, I have the LCY130 and the Morel MW-167 in my car on a 2-way active setup. the LCY is HP @ 2.5khz w/ 24db slope but now that i'll be runing it @ only 12db but at 3khz, will this hurt the ribbons? I know it plays down to 2khz and even lower but that's with a very steep slope. It seems fine, but I could be wrong.

Im still pretty new at diy home audio, so any help will be greatly apreciated. Thanks

I'd look for more efficent midbasses and midranges to match the LCY

i was thinking of going with dual reference but then I would have to build towers for that. So the LCY is going to have be lowered with a L-pad.
