Posted September 14, 200520 yr I wanted to make use of my DD mids and put them in the burb doors.I dont have any tweeters or a crossover so i contacted upstage audio about some CDT ones.He offered me the tw-24 tweeter with 456 crossover for a nice price.My question is, will my DD's with a dcr of 3.5ohms pair up with the 4ohm tweeter and crossover without any problems ?He also offered me an orion P series crossover instead of the cdt one. I have no idea if the Orion would be better. I think the Orion mids have a lower dcr, somewhere near the DD's...could be wrong thoughplease excuse any spelling errors, i cant get it down pat today for some reason
September 14, 200520 yr I just checked my CDTs they are 3.5 ohm. Now, the 456 x-overs (i have owned them) are kinda flimzy. Make sure you arent constantly moving and unhooking them, they dont seem to be a durable as the satnet 560's that I currently have sitting in my room. They will work fine on either set of x-overs really.
September 14, 200520 yr If they end up not matching very well, you could surely add a driver load compensating circuit either via a CR circuit or an L-pad type circuit. Hope they work out without them though! Let us know how it goes.
September 14, 200520 yr Author what about an active crossover and going active,<{POST_SNAPBACK}>What about the cost....Going active isnt exactly the cheapest thing in the world
