Vehical Audio Lesson II (Passive Crossovers)
An Example System ,
Tweeters - Highs Mids Highs - Lower FQ Than Tweeters Mids Lows - Often a Small Woofer Higher than Lows Woofers - Lows tweeters Play The Highest Pitched Sounds of The Music Mids Highs Play the Deep Tones of the Highs Mid Lows are picking up the gap between your Woofers and mid highs Woofers No Lyrics should come out of Woofers its all LOWS Sometimes you will see them moving and hear no sound If you hear lyrics in your sub woofers your system is set up wrong Now How to ensure that your speakers are getting the right range of FQ's .... Theres 2 Types of Passive Crossovers LowPass = Choke (inductor) HighPass = Capacitor For Example Lets say a Speakers Specs Are 40 - 80 Hz You dont want to Send any hz (tone) Below 40 hz or above 80 hz to the speaker or it will sound like crap , So what you do is Use Capacitors and chokes to cancel out all the hz but what the speaker is designed for A 5khz Capacitor will allow frequencies HIGHER than 5khz Pass any thing lower than that will be canceled out You Dont want to send Lows/Bass to your Tweeters ! A 100hz choke will allow frequencies LOWER than 100hz to pass and cancel out higher frequencies You Dont want to send Highs/Lyrics to your Woofers ! When using both a Lowpass and a highpass cross over this is called a BANDPASS FILTER Mostly Used for MIDS One of the Easiest And cheapest Ways of Completing a correctly set up system ,,, Since High Mids and Tweeters are the hardest to tune with crossovers Buy a component system This will already have all the crossovers built in http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/pro...107db6500.jpeg Its set up to allow only the highs to the little speakers and where the lows start to be cancelled out of the little speakers is where it just starts into the Larger one YOU WOULD BE AMAZED HOW MUCH YOUR MISSING IN YOUR MUSIC Heres an example of a 6" Woofer this is your mid lows http://www.humanspeakers.com/e/parts/images/007e-a.jpg Here is a 6" Tweeter http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/pro...KFC1661-f.jpeg There both 6" but the fq range is totally different You will have a Nice Tweeter for the Mid Highs with a component system But for mid lows your going to need a small woofer Not a tweeter Look at what your buying and design your system to have no blank areas and minimal over laps in FQ ranges If you read lesson I you will see SPEAKERS are the most important aspect of your stereo system Do it right or you wont be happy Your Subs All Lows No Highs and No Lyrics http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/pro...04-f_CONE.jpeg Note the following guide is based on an 8 Speaker system if you have a 6 speaker system then you just use speakers with wider fq ranges and different cross overs |
