[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8674085, member: 628688"] I've addressed the crossovers generally in this article: [URL="https://www.rubyservsales.com/aiming-component-speakers/"]Aiming Component Speakers[/URL] I recommend you read it fully and get comfortable with the concepts shown. If it makes sense to you that paves the way to understand why we want 3-way components rather than 2-way. We want to be able to play the system loudly, well-balanced, reliably for a long time. Yes, even SQ systems get loud when done well. Trying to cross a tweeter low enough to mate ideally to the top end of a 6.5" woofer betrays the goal of loud + reliable for a long time. The fix is to high pass the tweeter at an appropriate, higher frequency. The consequence is we get a "hole" in the frequency response between the midwoofer and tweeter on the side of the vehicle that places our ears far off axis. Enter the midrange speaker. This is the solution to the acoustic issue that comes with a relatively large midwoofer paired with a small tweeter. [/QUOTE]
