Build crossovers

[pl8er]

So I've been reading about crossovers and I will be the first to admit that minus understand a broad overview of how they work, I have no idea how they do it.

I want to learn and I want to build some entry level ones and build upon this. I'm a very long range planner. I see summer at the half way point and I want to start thinking about fall/winter projects. Possibly speakers and crossovers.

Anyone have good resources for the dumb for building this?

This link to a Parts express resource will give you values for textboox crossovers.

Hey thanks man! I appreciate the information.

Np at all.
The textbook crossovers wont be perfect for any situation but they are a nice place to start getting your feet wet. After you have built some you can always tweak them to dial them in.

Enjoy, that site explains Xover well, even has a calculator to help you decide what cap to select.

Getting a program helps best, something like XoverPro...
