What X-Over will be good for me?

Post by Oak244 »

I need a great crossover that will allow the following...

1 Channel 250Hz- up
1 Channel 60Hz-250Hz
1 Channel 60hz-down

Those are the three crossover points I need. I do not know what slopes they should have. This is what my system is doing speaker wise...

CDT ES520's will play the 250 Hz and up
CDT EF-8 will play the 60 Hz to 250 Hz midbass
And my sub will play 60 Hz and down.

Anyone know a good new or old crossover that would be great for this? Thanks :thumbsup

Actually maybe I do not need this exactly. Seeing that most Class D sub amps have crossovers, maybe I just need 1 channel to allow me to cross 60-250 and the other 25-20khz+, and let the sub amp do the 60 Hz down.

A simple solution would be an Audio Control 2xs 18db xOver...

If you take time to read the manual on how to make your own xOver plugins for it, you could set the hipass on the xOver to 250hz & the subsonic filter @ 60hz. This will essentially give you what you need.

If you do not want to make them I can make them for you if you send me a return address stamped padded envelope & $10 for each mudule you need.

These require me to use a sub amp with an x-over right?

the amplifiers will not require a crossover built in if you use an electronic crossover, no..
you can bypass one of the crossovers if one of your amplifiers has the XO already built in.
