[QUOTE="GSteg, post: 1422878, member: 543107"] the crossover point for the horns will depend on the body. If you plan to go with image dynamics minihorns, then they are best crossed at around 1.2khz. It'll go lower, but you'll have to experiement. The full body horn will be able to extend down to 800hz no problem. You're going to have to play around with it. IIRC, you'll want a 4th order slope unless you plan to cross over the horns higher. You generally do not want the horns and mids to play the same frequency. You want to low pass the driver below what the horns are Highpassed at. The mids should be highpassed around 50-80hz or whatever sounds good to you. The crossover goes to whatever channel that is driving the speaker. In your case, you'll want a 2-way external crossover that is able to bandpass on the mids. OR you can get a simple 2-way xover and use the amp's HP to HP the mids. [/QUOTE]
