Speaker level high pass crossover

[joecool85]

Now you've hit the nail straight in the head.
Bi-amping would be great.
Let his 15" handle what it can and send the couple 10" what *they* can handle, courtesy of an LM3886 or similar.
He might mount it on the 2x10" cabinet itself. :tu:

I think that Juan is right. Go for it and let us know what happens.

Juan is right, but like I said earlier, bi-amping isn't an option for him right now.  I ordered the parts for the highpass and will be building it soon.  I'll post pics and also let you know how it works out for him.

Cool! I hope it works out for you. :tu:

I really don't know much about things like that, but I'll try to help any way that I can. Did you figure out the right size for the capacitor yet?

[joecool85]

Yeah, for cap size I will be going with 2x 100uF rated at 50v.  They are bipolar electrolytics.  I will use a 3 position switch to bypass the caps, use one cap or use both caps in parallel.  This will give no cut, 17db cut at 30hz and 11db cut at 30hz.  Should be perfect.  I won't know for a bit though.  The parts are hanging out at the post office and due to my work schedule I can't pick them up till Saturday lol.

Best of luck t you,Joe! :tu:

Finally got it built.  I ended up using a spst on/off switch that just "turns on" one cap, the other is always connected.  With one cap that gives a 17db cut, with both in parallel it is only an 11db cut.  The cut is measured at 32hz.  Rolloff starts around 200hz for the 17db cut and around 100hz for the 11db cut.
