New member Username: WormgatePost Number: 2 Registered: May-09 | Thank you. Is there a way to have the effects of the equilizer apply to the sound of the CD input? I don't use a csst tape player, please? |

Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 12276 Registered: Dec-04 | The tape loop covers all inputs, LM, as it is in the output stage. Do you really need this componant, or is it for fun? Parabolic EQ's can be useful, but there is a lot of circuitry in there to kill good music. Welcome to the forum, again. What kind of setup are you running? What are you looking to achieve musically? Enquiring minds and all that. |

New member Username: WormgatePost Number: 3 Registered: May-09 | Nuck: Mostly for fun and functionality. I like to boost the midrange and lows. I write classical music and need a full range of frequencies. Right now, I'm building speaker cabinets with 10" Celestion speakers and a JBL tweeter. It's a puzzle how to connect the 2 stage crossover. Any ideas? The Celestions are 16 ohm, so I plan to wire them in parallel for 8 ohms. Thank you |

This is where maybe active XO's come into play. Is the design new to you or is it a proven one? I do not recommend a blind build. |

New member Username: WormgatePost Number: 4 Registered: May-09 | I appreciate any help you can give me I'm as green as a solar panel when it comes to the XO. I know it operates on resonant frequencies for each of the Woofers and the tweeter. It's a JBL heavy duty tweeter. It is not a bublble disk. I want high's for the flutes and clarinets, middle for the violas and bassoon, and I have a dedicated subwoofer for the contrabass...but no where really to wire in the sub. It's a 10" Jensen JP10SW, active. It cranks. Presently it is wired in parallel with the right speaker. I plan to use a PYLE mini-amp, 75 watts, an a new Magnavox DVD/CDR deck for the source. I have a schematic for the passive XO's: The woofer circuit is 80mh coil and 8 uF capacitor. The tweeter circuit is 4ohm resistor, 3uF cap in series, with a 20 mH coil in parallel between the two caps of the tweeter and woofer. There are 2 leads each on the XO for the tweeter connection and the woofer connection. The 10" woofers in parallel will go on quick connectors to the woofer leads, and the JBL will go on the quick connectors for the tweeter. Then the XO has - and + push type speaker wire connectors to wire to the 1/4" guitar type female jack. Sound OK to you? |

Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 12284 Registered: Dec-04 | LM, the link was dead, but as far as I can tell, you have laid out a 2nd order XO, which is just not likely to work. My suggestion is to read into XO networks, paying particular attention to butterfield's. The 4th Order(and above) XO is where the bass units should be designated, again, just as far as I can tell. |

New member Username: WormgatePost Number: 6 Registered: May-09 | Nuck: You were right. The sound produced was static and noise. I chucked them. I'm looking into ART 311 Stereo 2-Way Crossover with Sub Out from Amazon. com. Sound OK? --Larry |
