From: non-biz on 12 Jun 2007 00:37 Also - i dont have a schematic of the xover, its a generic looking one that is not JBL or any decent manufacturer. Its on a blue paper type PCB and looks like a radioshack special. No silkscreen or solder mask just bare copper traces. From what i was told, its a 2k x-over 6db/oct slope .
From: non-biz on 12 Jun 2007 00:49 Phil, when you say effectiveness is lost, do you mean the effectivness of the crossover?? I can see how the lamp would change the loading of the passive xover and change its frequency point constantly. I will continue to run these full range and not biamp active thru a processor. Will a polyswitch be any better choice? THanks again -eric
