rmlowz Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I am building a three way speaker. I will be using Dave Harris tweeter lenses with DE10, the FastTrack 400 horn with the A55G mid driver and Crites cast frames in a stand alone Cornscala bass bin box. My question is there a Klipsch or Crites crossover that will work well for this build. I know there are other options but it is long wait for other builders to build a crossover for me. Maybe I should be patient but if there is a alternative without the wait? Thanks Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I would check ALK as I believe he has a crossover for this sort of thing. ALK Engineering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Didn't the "CornScala" originate with BEC? One would think he or now his son Michael has something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmlowz Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 Yes I will check it out when he is taking more orders. I was maybe thinking a Klipsch cross over or Crites I guess not? Thanks Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a message in with Michael, but this in not technically a CornScala except for the Bass bin which Bob give me the dimensions for a few years ago.

You have many choices of crossover to use with these drivers. ALK Universal ALK Gentle slope AP 12 series ALK Extreme slope crossovers CRITES AA CRITES A/4500 Talk to Michael about your options here or ALK if you can wait a little longer. & you can quite easily construct some of the above yourself.

rmlowz Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 Hello sootshe, Thanks I have talked to Michael he said he has not tested my configuration so he does not know how his crossovers will perform. If I cant find anything I will get in line for a build with ALK or others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really makes thing sing! Thanks for the offer I am plug and play. I really like the simplicity of crossovers. Bob Crites even built me a nice pair when I had my K402s for many years.

Deang Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 You could use the B2, but you might have to flip the polarity of the tweeter, the midrange, or both. No way to know without REW and a microphone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
