Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work?

I appreciate all the input here although I am less enthusiastic about how this thread has devolved into the kind of digressions and name calling that seems typical of Audiogon. Also, since these forums don't support true threading it is challenging to actually respond to each of you. Most importantly though, is my starting question, at its simplest, is really just whether or not subwoofer crossovers are supposed to behave the way the Starke crossover is behaving. I'll measure an individual sub later this evening and add a setting for 200 Hz. But assuming that still shows the rolloff starting from the same place, i.e. roughly 50 Hz, regardless of the crossover setting is that normal? millercarbon Moabs are great but with caveats. That discussion deserves a separate topic. |
Hi OP No, the measurements do not look like very good representations of crossover behavior when changing the crossover point. However, since there are two subs involved, I can’t tell what is going on. I completely agree with Duke that 2 subs are better than one, but I think for the sake of your sanity, you should measure one first. :) See if that doesn’t work as you’d expect. You know, you might want to try out XSim crossover simulator. It is free, and you can draw several ideal speakers, and use different crossovers on each, and plot their behavior. Best, E |
