a 5Khz high pass roll off to the tweeters. This is an excellent starting point. Depending on
the location of the tweeters and the type of the tweeters you may be able to run a lower
crossover point, which will enable more of the sound to come out of the tweeters and often
this creates a better sound image, as well as tightening up the midbass.
If you have the facility available on your head unit or amplifier it will be beneficial in most
cases to also set a high pass crossover point, to limit the amount of bass that is being fed in
to your speakers. We would recommend the use of a 60, 80 or 100Hz crossover in most
situations.
For advanced installers where there is no room to work it is possible to experiment using
mid woofers to function as compact enclosure subwoofers. To get the best performance in
these circumstances you would look to run them in a sealed enclosure of approximately 0.5
cubic feet for the pair. Alternatively, you can run them infinite baffle without a box using a
solid thick board to mount them. If you are using the speakers as woofers please set the
crossover frequencies to give a subsonic filter at approx 35Hz. For the low pass we
recommend starting at 200Hz for this application. You can use Dacron to stuff the enclosure
to mimic a slightly larger box than you physically have.
