[QUOTE="Bwap, post: 8096221, member: 654234"] I have recently constructed a pair of crossovers for my front stage. The crossover point is 2750hz, butterworth, for both the mid and the tweet. I feel that because the sensitivity is much higher on the 8" that there in quite and overlap at the crossover point. I am considering changing the low pass crossover on the 8" down to 2k. I don't know how this will pair with the tweeter, so I am asking you guys. Even at about -10db at 5000hz, the 8" still overpowers the tweet.. I think it is the sensitivity difference, making them not pair nicely. The speakers I am using are: [URL="http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_26899_PowerBass-Xtreme-4XL-80-94.html"]PowerBass 4XL-80-94 (4xl8094) 8" Competition Grade Composite[/URL] and [URL="http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=277-060"]Morel MDT 12 1-1/8" Neodymium Tweeter 277-060[/URL] Both sound amazing, I just don't know where to cross them to sound nice together. I was told 2750 would be fine, but there is definitely an overlapping issue. This is how they are wired, ignore the supertweeter.
