What negative effects do higher order filters have? Most would have a bad interaction in the stop band as well as create some seriously funky group delay. For instance if you went 8th order by strapping two 4th order filters together; however, this isn't a problem with the Cauer. Basically you take a standard LR4th and add a notch filter chosen to be at the beginning of the slope to give you an approxiamate 40-50db roll off near the crossover point. Since it is still a LR you get the nice transition from driver to driver, but don't have to worry about all the other issues when using two drivers that might normally be better suited for a three way. In my case I want the MB of an 8, but only want to go two way for cost, simplicity, and space. Plus I'd love to have bookshelves that womp on my friends mains. Of course, SPL wise running a tweet that low will be the limitation but designed right they should still get decently loud. And again being for my office, SQ is more important than SPL but you'd probably guess that from me anyway.

/\ yes it is me, the active guy asking a passive question....

Any of you ever done an approxiamate 8th order roll off with a cauer elliptical crossover (aka a notch and a 4th order LR together)? I want some monster MB for a small cabinet and am thinking of doing a 2 way with a Dayton 225, but since it doesn't play high and most tweets don't like to play that low I am going to need a seriously steep rolloff on my crossover.

Depends on your goals, if it were me its an easy decision I'd go with the Rlp's but I know my goals...

yay sleep, boo work.

Should be able to - that would be prime shape for soccer season. The leaner I am the faster I am on my feet I might just play again this year myself.

right on....did it work?

right on, wish I wasn't so lazy.

holy chit its friggin' hot and humid here. 2 minutes outside and my shirt is teh wet.

best wishes man!

Good!

time for sleepy

sorry, was really contemplating building a set of small omni sort of speakers for a buddy of mines deck. trying to do something for under 100. i just like to have the next project or two planned...

Thinking of scrapping the outdoor project for later and instead building bookshelves for my office. Seems like more instant gratification to me.

Your not helping my ht bug.

Doesnt suprise me. Now find me a quality HT setup with a RE sub....ya, not gonna happen Exact reason I posted the link, guys on that forum can be over the top nutz.

Good to see a number of SoundSplinters on here: http://www.htguide.com/forum/showthread.php4?t=18218

lots of cone tipping though

/\ won't require sanding!!

Found out that my diffuser cone does not have to be parabolic, in fact a straight cone works just as well. It should make it easier to make. Paper cone and some plaster and bam.

now the link is working above again, at least for me

stupid friggin website its funny cause it worked for about 5 minutes on my machine, but now I moved it to imageshack

I hear ya, but since it worked for him I though I'd share.

I need to come up with a way to make a tweeter mount like this. I wish I had a milling machine.

NP used liquid nails to glue his on.
