I need expert help

Post by Robert Thomas »

Question: How do I build a crossover in my speaker cabinet.
I am using 2-12 inch 16 ohm speakers and one 8 ohm horn in the cabinet. The speakers are being driven by a Peavey MP 5 PLUS Amp.
I naturally need to know what to use and how to make the crossover.
If there is any one out there with the answer, it would sure help me.
I do all charitable entertaining so don't make any money, plus am retired, on social security. Hope it doesn't sound like I am asking for a handout, but I really could use some help.

This page: http://quadrasub.com/ has some info on crossovers and other questions about speakers, etc. He also sells crossovers: http://www.steelsound.com/directory.cfm?CategoryID=30

I bought a couple of the cheap ones and they seem to work fine.

Bill, thanks for the direction, but when it comes to what type of crossover I need, the articles don't tell me what I need in a way that is understandable for me.
If someome could tell me what I need and how to wire it in, that would do the trick for me.
Again, thanks for your help.
