[QUOTE="john lutz, post: 58541, member: 244"] Re: Voicing/tuning a 3-way home brew speaker cab This little project is for my fun and I know it will take some time and effort. The cab is wired a 3-way. 2" horn isolated + 15" mid in a small sealed box + 15" low in remainder ported cab. I have WT3 so I have the impedance data and port tuning freq. I have data sheets on all the drivers. The horn is a mystery for now - possibly an old Community. I power it with 3 amp channels, Xti2k + Xti2k + xti4k crossed at LR24 1k, 250hz and 100hz. FWIW it would be easy to convert this to a simpler dual 15" + 2" horn cab if that configuration makes more sense. For starters I am going do as you suggest. This will take me a while to set up and test. Would my first measurements be without x-over filters applied? Do I need to see what the drivers do naturally? Or am I only interested in what I'm probably going to feed them and start with best guess generic points Like LR24 1K and 250hz ? Would a different filter be a better start point? BW18? LR48?
