Using Xover on Signal already Xovered
If I send a signal from the RCA outputs on my HU at let's say 600 Hz LP to
my amp to drive a midwoofer, would I run into any problems by then sending this signal via the amp's RCA outputs to a second amp which I will then use its internal xover to LP at 80Hz (or whatever) for a sub?

Tony No worries. Since the two crossover points are almost three octaves apart, It will make no difference to the 80 Hz crossover whether its input is full-range or capped at 600 Hz. You'll probably want some kind of high-pass filter for your midwoofers, so they're not trying to reproduce low notes that would be best suited for the subwoofer. If the amp powering your midwoofer has a high-pass filter, I'd set it at about 100-120 Hz. -- Scott Gardner "I will not tiptoe softly through life only to arrive safely at death." |
