Speaker relative efficiency/sensitivity when using a high pass filter
Is there a formula/algorithm/rule of thumb for calculating how a speaker's power requirements might change when the lower frequencies are handled by a subwoofer? Specifically for a ported speaker with a supposed frequency response down to 35Hz and an a 89dB sensitivity with a second order crossover at 80Hz. I know it goes down but by how much? I recognize that power requirements increase as frequency decreases but is the difference enough to allow for a less powerful amp? I would think so.

@tcutter what are you using to high pass your speakers at 80 hz? I’m interested in doing the same thing. I want to relieve my speakers of some of that bass and open up my amp options. Thanks. |
I love how @phusis refutes my claim, and then in a couple of paragraphs refutes himself. Hahahaha, have at it guys, I've said my peace. |
