Jennifer1 Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Hi I got two RF-15 with RC-25 and HK AVR-230 and I can set the crossover point for each speaker. Would it be ok if I set the RF-15 at 60 HZ and the rc-25 at 80 HZ? thanks a lot! jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dzapper Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 You'll have no problem there Jen. Do you use a subwoofer? Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Hi Jennifer, Why would you want to crossover the speakers if you don't have a sub? You'll just be eliminating frequencies. Unless you are playing at speaker-blowing volumes, I'd just leave them full-range so you can take advantage of as much bass as they can possibly put out. Example, even if a speaker's specs say 40Hz-20kHz +/- 3 db, the speaker is still putting out 40 Hz at -3db and there is possibly some output at 35 or 30 Hz. It's a roll-off, never an exact cutoff. By using your receivers crossover also, you eliminate any chance that your speaker can output those lovely bass notes. So unless you play them so loud that they distort (never a good idea), I'll leave em full-range until you get your sub, THEN by all means use the crossover to keep the sound crisp my keeping the bass notes out of your RF15's. Hope this didn't create more confusion, if so, just keep writing! Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
