Combination of 1st order and 2nd order crossover in 3 way box

erik_squires
You always respond well to my posts and I appreciate it.  I will post on diy as you suggested.  I am certainly just experimenting as that is how I learn best.  I think a standard 1st order crossover will work well in this situation as I have selected drivers (mostly Dayton stuff) that will work together but I have to get them in the box first and send some pink noise through them to see what happens in the box so I can better design the crossover.  

Danny,


If you don't know the driver response, and acoustic offsets you can't possibly be talking about crossover typologies yet.


You really are a lot further than you think.  May I strongly suggest, try your hand with the simulated speaker I posted. See if you can make it work. If you start a thread on DIYaudio let me know and I'll jump in and discuss.


The simulated speaker is free, and you will learn a great deal quickly.


Best,

Erik

Erik,
    I have all of the driver specs but I haven't tested them in the box.  I was more asking the question about combining different order crossovers so that I can learn more about them and to learn people's thoughts on them.  I have since found a lot of info on it.  With just the driver spec's in mind I think it would be beneficial to protect the tweeter with a second order order high pass slope and the mid range driver would do well with a second order low pass slope given it's problems around 8k.  I plan on getting a good reading from them once they are in the box and going from there.  I will take a look at your simulated speaker.  I'm just in this for the fun of it.  Thanks
