Hi Guys.
I could use the help of the crossover experts. I got a wild bug last week to build a pair of speakers. I got one done and don’t know exactly what to do with this crossover.
I started with an old beat up pair of RS Minimus 11s. I gutter the cabs an started sizing parts for the empty cabs. They are REALLY well built cast aluminum so are making a great starting point.
I installed the H45E horn, Dayton DT250P compression driver, SB Acoustics woofer, Peerless passive radiators (one on each side), and the Dayton 2 way crossover. I had the crossover, which crosses at 3.5khz which is the low cross point of the H45E horn.
It has been an exercise in stuffing 5 lbs into a 2lbs bag and the little bugger is heavy. I don’t have pix of the actual speaker but will post that today. But here are pix and links for all the parts.
And a pic of the REW graph without any attenuation. I know I have to pad down the CD but don’t know what to do with the slope. If the CD was flat I could just pad it down, but, I think, the horn is making the CD response into a slope.
So, what would you do?
