Hello...
From a design point of view I can see the advantage of using an active crossover to 'voice' or dial in the low end of a 3-way system. But once you land on a preferred slope and crossover point, what considerations are there to 'translate' that back to a passive solution? Is it just a simple matter of adding a low pass filter to an existing 2-way? Or are all bets off when adding any other filtering components.
Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, I just want to improve on what I already have -- going from a proven MTM to WMTMW. This to add weight, greater dynamics to the low end and a good reason to build some new cabinets! Also to better match with the large sub -- which will cover the very lowest of frequencies.
I appreciate your thoughts.
