It's a long story, but for purely cosmetic purposes I need to make a few speakers, each using 3 HiVi B3S drivers, and nothing else. Anybody have any good suggestions on how I can make that work and sound good? I obviously only want to run one of them all the way to the top octave, but I'm not as experienced with more complicated crossover systems.
I tried it... didn't work very well because the midbass is very distorted and bass is nonexistant. But pass 300hz it is an amazing driver, especially for the price. Consider it a midtweeter rather than a fullranger.
Actually, I forgot to mention that I will be using them in a home theater setup with a subwoofer, with an active crossover probably set at 120hz, just to keep them out of that troublesome reigon.
Did you use any filtering when you did it, like the notch filters that Zaphaudio recommends, or just straight?
Hi,
the easiest way to use 3 drivers is to implement baffle
step compensation and crossover at the same time.
Two drivers in parallel are +6dB compared to one driver,
so use a simple 1st order series c/o, the frequency being
determined by baffle width.
so two drivers || for mid bass, one driver for mid & treble.
You'll also need the 8K notch filter for the mid/treble driver.
