BMS gives the responses for their filtering of this interesting 2way coax large compression driver. If you dont have measurement equipment to backwards engineer it and then build it with $$$ components, better contact them so to give you the topology and values.

Hi Winslow...
Good! I am preparing thing to start a Horn project for my living room.
I will be using a JBL2360A horn and the BMS4590.
I want to use a passive crossover so I can use a single SET 45 amplifier for mid and highs.
Later I will use active crossover to mate this setup with a woofer.

Are you able to determine the circuite schematic that was used?
To me It looks like a 2nd order crossover, something like this?

Passive Crossover Design Equations Formulas Calculator - Two Way Second Order Network Chebychev Bessel Butterworth Linkwitz-Riley
set for 8ohm drivers and a crossover of 6.5khz?

Are you able at least to determine the number of components and values for some of them?
Maybe a photo of the front and back and determine values for some of the components.

Thanks in advace!
 
I liked them, I had the 4591s which were the mid only section. I sold them back in 2006 or so. Played them for a while in my apartment with low crossover on the lowend at low levels.

Well 6.3k is pretty high and they are really robust drivers, that's probably all they need. And with the horn loading, the 6 dB electrical filter probably comes in about as a 24 dB acoustic filter...would have to play around and see.

I like to use the demo version of LspCAD and Jeff Bagby's Passive Crossover Designer spreadsheet...very powerful and can do more than those online calculators.
 
There used to be a crossover for these drivers posted on Audio Asylum...but that's been 7-8 years back and the schematics are all gone now. I had/have them saved on my old computer and had emailed them to Jennifer Crock over at Jena Labs.

Maybe contact her to see if she still has the design?

The fellow that designed that circuit goes by RCA-fan on Audio Asylum.
