I have a question about the Hi-Vi M12 woofer.....
I have an Eton 4" mid that measures 89-90db sensitivity. I also have a Morel MDT40 tweeter (one of their very small neo tweeters) that is also in the 89db sensitivity range. I have a pair of 'Woodstyle' 2.6 cubic foot tower enclosures that would just fit the M12 woofer on it's baffle.
My thinking is x-over points around 450 and 2800....with 24db L/R slopes. With the M12 having a sensitivity in the 93-93.5db range, that gives an opportinity to keep overall system sensitivity in the 89-90db range after 4db of BSC (which is all I really need in my family room). Plus, the small Morel tweeter face plate allows me to get a Center to Center distance between the mid and tweet of only 3.8".
Is the M12 good up to 450hz with 24db slope? Does my plan pass the sniff test? Are my xover points reasonable?
(I live 10 minutes from Meniscus Audio and they have all the measurement equipment and would help me design the crossover...I get along with them pretty good and get great service from them...I would order the M12 from PE)
Any thoughts? (the M12 is just so sexy!!! :leghumper: )
Thanks,
Steve
