Full-range 12dB 3-way

$36.00-$65.00

Subwoofer 12dB

Crossover upgrades are designed according to frequency response and phase measurements.

Getting speakers to sum properly over the audible range is the primary challenge because of each driver's inherent mechanical/electrical behavior. Off the shelf crossovers in consumer audio are rarely correct. They're not designed for specific drivers or systems of drivers used together.

Components: OFC wire, low-ohm perfect-lay air-core inductors, polyester or mylar capacitors and non-inductive resistors.

Price depends on the inductor values. The lower the bass-mid crosspoint, the larger and more expensive the inductors have to be.
