Title: crossovers
Post by: John Roman on April 17, 2011, 05:33:26 AM

Morning,
I'm in the process of "finishing" a pair of diy speakers that I've had for several years. A fellow Bottlehead (thanks Glynn) has inspired me to make some changes to the crossovers which has made me realize how much I enjoy these speakers and how over due the finish work is. What I'm hoping to accomplish is to hide the crossovers in some way to gain a very clean look for the finished speaker. These are a Dick Olsher  inspired 3-way known as the BassZilla Platinum Mark 2. Essentially a ported bass bin with a ribbon tweeter and Fostex mid on an open baffle.  At 97 db they are easy to drive with my Paramount's. Just looking for some ideas, maybe a website to look at. Have a great day everyone!
John

John,

Have a look at:

http://www.alkeng.com

Most of this relates toKlipsch heritage speakers, but on his main home page there is a lot of info on crossovers, including some design software.  I do believe he has a crossover for the Linkwitz Orion, which issimilar in concept to the speakers you hav e.

HTH,

Jim
