ninjai18 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) I was wondering why the RF-5 has a higher crossover frequency of 2500hz compared to the RF-3's, which is 2000hz~. This makes no sense to me, as the RF-5 has a larger horn, and I do believe the rule of thumb is, the bigger the horn, the lower the crossover point, the better the sound. Can anyone explain why they did this? Edited December 11, 2015 by ninjai18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Well there are a ton of possibilities. Larger horn. Maybe different tweeter? Different woofers. Different size cabinet. I just built three speakers. All three use the same drivers and horns. However the center channel crosses significantly lower than the towers which are larger cabinets. I trust the designer did this for a reason. Start jacking with values and crossover points and you can easily make a good speaker bad.

jjptkd Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) I've wondered the same thing-- The woofers are the same, cabinet volume is roughly the same, it is a different tweeter number although they are both 1" titanium drivers.
