Hello,
I was wondering how calculations are made for getting power rating of each driver used in multi-way system. Like let me say. I have 2 way system rating 10w with Fq response of 120Hz to 20 Khz . Well the design is completed to give a perfect flat response in the mentioned frequency range. To achieve the response I use crossovers , attenuator, Impedance equalizer, this all stuff absorb some energy. so what is the calculation for this. Also after using the above attenuator and crossovers the power rating of drivers required would not be same say 10w for each. I guess this depends on where the crossover point is set. so finally if I say my system can handle 10w continuous over the given range. then possibly the mid-woofer I would need to use would only be 7.5W where the tweeter can just be 3W. I mean that was just for example.
So is there any software available for the calculations, or can anybody actually help me with actual calculation method and equations.
