You mean built *into* the speaker?

No, of course not: crossovers are external to the speakers.

He probably means "built into the speaker" *enclosure* though, and that is
where most crossovers are usually located.


The idea is to keep frequencies that the particular speaker (midrange,
tweeter, etc.) isn't capable of handling well out of it entirely.

And usually not have two sets of drivers covering the same frequency range
and perhaps creating a response peak.
And lets not even talk about frequency dependant phase cancellation
problems! :-)
