Crossover question

[bassaholic 10+ year member]

If i ran a 12 db slope active crossover before the built in amp crossover which is also 12 db slope would that make it a 24 db slope going to amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif ? Forgive me if its a stupid question im still a bit new //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

i would think that that it will still be 12db? but i dunno ive never even though about that

why im asking i want to try a 24 db set up by adding a 12 db crossover before the one on the amp and see how it sounds //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif, is 24 db slope is gonna make a big difference anyway?

it would be a -24dB/oct slope. unfortunantly the cutoff frequency would not be known. also alignment might not be what you want, but then again no one really lets you adjust that anyways.

it'd actually still be a 12db slop. you can just combine them and say it wil be a 24/db slope.
