I am designing a 2-way speaker and when using the minidsp settled on a crossover of 3500hz. I purchased assembled crossover but they measure completely different than when active. Both are LR 12DB.
Initially when using active, I decided I would also attenuate the tweeter by 2.5db, as it was a bit too bright. With the passive crossover and no attenuation there is significant dropoff.
I bought 2 of the crossovers and tried both with the same result.
This is my first speaker build, is this normal behavior?
Here are the measurements.
Purple is active, green is passive.
Thanks!
