Hi All!
Just finished an isobaric sub using 2 JBL 2235H woofers.
Everything sounds great, they go very low but one problem
When electronically crossed over in my preamp (Acurus ACT 3), I seem to be getting too much midrange info say from 200 hertz to approx 500 hertz.
I know these woofers are relatively flat out to about 1000 hz.
The sub is low passed at 65 hz. for home theater and 45 hertz for 2 channel music.
Was wondering if my solution to the problem is a good one
I use a paradigm x-30 active crossover to filter out all the unwanted frequencies from about 100 hz. and up.
Does anyone see aproblem with this, using two crossovers cascading each other (the one in the processor and the outboard crossover)?
It seems to sound much better with the Paradigm in the chain but I don't know if it is doing anything to the slopes that it shouldn't be doing.
Any opinions or other suggestions to cure the problem would be appreciated.
Dave
