Well the tower originally had a port down the bottom, its sjnce been filled with an old T-shirt amd that definitely cleared the bass up a bit.
You'll find the inside and the outside of a cabinet serve different purposes. They can even be different structures, sometimes this is intentional. In wall speakers have a wall as the outside and can have a box as the rear volume.Ive started to try and learn about crossovers and baffles etc now. Am I right in assuming the major difference between in wall speakers and standard floor standers is the curve in the crossover?
Ordinary box speakers focus the sound, especially higher frequencies, in front of the speaker. This is primarily the work of the front panel. With more sound in front the pressure will be higher. Lower frequencies don't recieve this support as strongly as the sound travels too far during a cycle (ie their wavelength is large). Dealing with this can include equalising the response.
Answering your question this equalisation, while it is often combined into the crossover, is not the primary function of a crossover per se. That is to split and combine the spectrum between different drivers. This can overlap with any needed equalisation but is a seperate matter nonetheless.
I think I understand thanks, i have some 3-way passive crossovers that ive been dying to use...
Wonder if i would have much luck with these 😀
