I've seen people using 3 different types of alignments for 12db/oct crossovers:
1: Linkwitz/Riley
2: Butterworth
3: Bessel
I've noticed all set up resonance at the crossover frequency, so what it the difference among the 3? Is one any better than the other?
What is the theory behind how a 12db/oct crossover works? How does the speakers impedance affect the peak voltages at resonance? I know you can't calculate simple Xc and Xl values like in a 6db circuit. Or do you guys even think about this stuff anymore since we have computers to do the work for us these days?
Speaking of computers doing the work is there a good easy to use program that will model output response based on component values?
