O.k., here’s the setup.. I have a set of old Samson r5a’s that I want to convert to passive. They have 2 amps, 1 for the ribbon tweeter and 1 for the woofer. I want to remove the amps and just run the speakers as passive. I want to use the ribbon tweeter in them. I want to simply run an inductor on the woofer and a cap on the tweeter. What I want to know is twofold.. 1. Can this be done without destroying the sonic quality of each driver? 2. What inductor and cap should I use to run the woofer between say 50 hz and maybe 2500 hz and have the ribbon handle everything above that. The tweeter was designed for 25 watts and the woofer for 50 watts. I know this question will probably creat a firestorm of opinions, but please just keep it simple, we’re just talking 2 drivers and a gutted box. Lol
Usually there is eq built in to that active circuitry.
But yea, active crossover is fun.
But even 24db on a ribbon active 2.5khz, I'd go higher.
