Calling out to any folks here who know their stuff about speakers, crossovers, etc.
I want to try some experiments over the summer using a pair of these drivers:
http://www.parts-express.com/pdf/290-409s.pdfwhich I have, but they're still in the box at the moment.
It's a "full-range" 12 inch woofer with a wizzer - but its freq. responce is only good to about 8-10KHz
(the 7th harmonic of note F5 at 8 foot pitch) - so it really should be supplimented with a little dome tweeter.
The organ at Zion is going silent for the summer, so the first thing I'll try is to mount them in some 12" holes in the "infinite baffle" here: and see how they sound alone - unenclosed.
Then I think I'll try them in some really big PA enclosures I just happen to have. First alone, then in tandem with some 15" vintage CTS organ woofers.
Then, I plan to build 1.8 ft3 enclosures - per Eminence's recommendation and run them with a 1" dome tweeter crossed over at 6-8KHz.
Anybody had experience buying and/or building passive crossovers from Parts Express?
