[QUOTE="OlogyAudio, post: 1035854, member: 562170"] As much as I love the dayton RS drivers they are not very friendly to work with in terms of xover design... even a conventional 4th order just won't cut it unless you cross at like 1600hz... My passive xovers aren't very standard... For example the SL6 component set with the neo tweeter and 6"... the lowpass is at 2.7khz and the highpass is at 3.8khz... however the design is still flat within 1.5dB throughout... thats only on axis and upto 30 degrees off axis though -- after that you quickly degrade to +1.5 -3dB and much past 60 it is +1.5 -5dB and falls quickly near the xover point and higher in frequency (just the nature of the tweeter) -- so while the SL is as flat as the PL -- actually flatter on axis... the power response of the PL is much more even -- the tweeter has more dynamic potential -- and overall lower distortion... anyways the midwoofer is 3dB down at 2700hz and at 5400 it is 27dB down... no this isn't enough in my opinion but for the price of the tweeter... it is worth it -- still blows anything else in the class away... Anyways the lesson of the story: Dayton RS drivers aren't very active friendly...
