NO, the x-o is a linked series, x-o points are about 200 and 2500 (iirc)
If you choose your drivers, especially a mid with a smooth response and roll-off, this sort of x-o can be very effective.
The idea is to choose drivers that will need little or no correction in the zone you will be using them.

ARGOS loudspeakers
ps.. my x-o has an extra resistor across the mid as part of an L-pad arrangment, not shown in diagram.

budget, and availability. Down here, we don't always have the choices you guys have.
Thanks, I think it turned out rather nice, even if I do say so myself

The U frame definitely helps get the bass response form the Etones. Without it they are rather un-bassy. I tried many variations, and there is quite heavy padding on the mids and, of course , on the compression driver, and with a pair of 15" doing bass work, they don't have to move much in a lounge room situation.
It doesn't take much power to get them very loud!

The basic design is here ARGOS loudspeakers. except add a resistor across the mid.
I'm at Uni at the moment but will try to find the values used when I get home. Have been meaning to draw it up and add it to the web page anyway.
Which model Jaycar ?
I have a pair of the Jaycar 15's from several years ago, but they were NEVER cheap, and are actually one very nice PA midrange/ vocal driver. For a small vocal rig, they really very good.
trying to remember what other 15" PA driver Jaycar had recently, misplaced old cattledogs
If its this one that you have a pair of http://members.optusnet.com.au/~gradds55/Jaycar 15 PA.jpg and they were cheap, I'll gladly take them off your hands for a cheap price
Lets say that the Etone 1525 punches well above its price for my purpose, especially as I bought then a few years ago at quite a deal cheaper than current price.

No! I wish!!!, the bass driver from the party box

Hello Andy G,
Your design looks very interesting.
I'm wondering how well dipole roll-off is to be compensated with a simple cross over like yours?
Is it possible for you to share some measurements, preferably of the individual drivers in the baffle without and with the cross over?
