I'm an electronics technician and have been working with audio for about 30 years, since I was a teenager... The best "audiovisual" explanation for crossovers I've ever seen. Congratulations! And thank you!
❤ Thank you very much for illustrating the sounds. Finally someone serious who really explains and also shows the differences in sounds. But I now understand that every company has its spectrum of sounds. Its and everything depends on the type of capacitors.
Can u please make a similar video for 4th order crossover to play via yamaha v6a avr . I'm planning 8ohms 50watts woofer . 8ohms 30watts mid and a 20 watts silk dome tweeter..it is said that 100 watt cab be obtained from each channel
This is a fantastic video!!Thank you!! Is it possible to give us some more details about the values of the resistors ,the capacitors and the coils that can be used? Thank you.
The target of the video is to know the crossover job on speakers. For values there's many crossover calculator applications, but it's better to use web crossover calculators because they're easy to ise for beginners.
@@homemade_audio Thank you for your response.The reason i asked the question is this AUDYN 450v capacitor you are using which sounds like giving a boost to the sound when is connected despite the fact that is cutting the high frequencies.I did the same experiment using an old Tesla cap 50uf 250v and an 8 inch jbl woofer and the effect was not the same.The high frequencies where cut but without affecting the overall performance of the speaker.So my question is :using a hi end capacitor like the one you are using will affect the overall sound of the speaker or maybe it was my idea that something like that happened in the video?Thanks omce again for the beautifull video.
@Dimitris Raggas the component values you use will depend specifically on the response your drivers are capable of. The crossover is used to tune the signals that are permitted to flow through to your speaker/drivers. To cut high frequency signals from your woofers and prevent low frequency signals getting to your tweeters etc You can't slap a low pass filter capacitor on a mid range speaker and miraculously obtain 15Hz bass notes from it. Crossover is there to distribute the signals to the drivers that they are capable of reproducing only
@@homemade_audio I have an idea for an updated video... do the same thing but this time. have a compression mic run into software and display a sweep video in top right corner.
One observation. In band-pass, we have two sections. One for high pass and the other for low pass. I see you have used capacitor and inductor in series. Are you saying that these two pieces make the high and low pass at 6db/octave? Would we use some value for a second set of inductor and capacitor in parallel to make it a 12db/octave filter? Thank you. Excellent, excellent job.
One cap plus inductor in series is an 6db cut for midrange driver (no LF no HF). For more plz use free crossover calculator on web to calculate any crossover you want for any any driver, it's good for beginners.
Very helpful video. I am wiring 2 way crossover with woofer and tweeter with two resistors on the tweeters one in series and one in parallel. Do I wire them in between the tweeter and connection to the crossover?
Haha good video, a well designed speaker only needs a capacitor to protect the tweeter, everything else is full range baby! If the drivers are custom designed and not mass manufactured, no problem!!!
No, not like that!! Add capacitor in parallel after coil means that the cross cut became 12d/octave = second order cut = hard cut . The sound reduced 12 decibels in every octave.
It depends on the tweeter's impedance and frequency cut desired 🤷♂️ You have to search " crossover calculator" on Google you'll find many calculators.
Hi. What sort of a Resistor should I used to match speakers (4 ohms) with my amplifier (6 ohms). 2 ohms of resistor (s) in series is fine right...? What about the resistors power ( like 5w, 10w so on). TIA 😊
Adding a resistor to a loudspeaker does not vary its impedance, but the overall resistance of the circuit. To vary the impedance it is necessary to use an impedance transformer. adding a resistor ( 2ohms 10 watts) can protect your amp but it can also change the speaker response.
Best crossover explaination I've ever seen.

For dumb dumbs like myself , seeing and hearing the explanation makes all the difference. Thank you for your time and effort.
You welcome 🙏
Without mentioning any of the tech specific nonsense, you explained how these simple parts work. This is a big help for me with my diy project.
Tech specific is related on driver's impedance and cut desired!!!
Google crossover calculator that can help you much 😉

Please make video on how to phase match each drivers with such crossovers
It's a very important things but not now to do, i must go step by step with my followers, phase is the last step.
It was very useful

wow man thank you, really really helped me out, appreciated
What a great video, thank you!
Thank you 🙏🥰
Thank you, very useful sharing
Thank you, I'm very happy to hear nice words 😋🙏🙏🙏
All of these videos are great and all....but all I want to know is what side do I hook the speaker to...the input or the output???
Hi would the midrange crossover still allow low bass to pass through?
No, the bass destroys midrange's driver!!!
In any driver, only the frequencies supported by the driver are allowed to pass through the crossover
Oh man, that was awesome.
One observation. In band-pass, we have two sections. One for high pass and the other for low pass. I see you have used capacitor and inductor in series. Are you saying that these two pieces make the high and low pass at 6db/octave?
Would we use some value for a second set of inductor and capacitor in parallel to make it a 12db/octave filter? Thank you.
Excellent, excellent job.
One cap plus inductor in series is an 6db cut for midrange driver (no LF no HF).
For more plz use free crossover calculator on web to calculate any crossover you want for any any driver, it's good for beginners.

ood day boss
question boss .... can you please make a video for 1000w cross over network.. for tutorial..
thanks and more power.
Very helpful video. I am wiring 2 way crossover with woofer and tweeter with two resistors on the tweeters one in series and one in parallel. Do I wire them in between the tweeter and connection to the crossover?
Excelente video, una pregunta, existe algo como un crossover de 3er orden?
Yes , but for 3rd and more it's better to go for powered active crossover
Haha good video, a well designed speaker only needs a capacitor to protect the tweeter, everything else is full range baby! If the drivers are custom designed and not mass manufactured, no problem!!!
WTF are you talking about, oh wait a minute you don't know,
Well explained. Thnk u
Thank you too 🙏
What are your thoughts on changing a 68uf to an 80uf capacitor on a woofer circuit? Will I get more bass to the woofer?
No, not like that!! Add capacitor in parallel after coil means that the cross cut became 12d/octave = second order cut = hard cut .
The sound reduced 12 decibels in every octave.
Cool...thanks for sharing.
How to make & Calculated a coil ?? Please share a tutorials 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, great idea 👍👍👍
@@homemade_audio i wait for it pleaseee 🙏🙏🙏🙏🍎
@Homemade Audio it would be very helpful
Thank for your help
So first order band pass filter. Use cap coil resistor is that corect?
Am I right you put all items in the '+' signal?? Because the connectors on the left, black would be + in this case, right? (normally red is + signal.
Sir like chesanu skip cheyakunda choosanu
FANTASTIC!
Thank you 👍
Would love to see a crossover for Wilson or von shwkiert speakers
Nice video.
Thanks! 🙏
Very well 🎉❤😊
Super! Nice!
🥰👍
the best on the net
Здравствуйте а сабвуфер сколько ом динамик указывайте в видео???
I think it was 6 ohms
It appears the woffer is getting srtressed?
Yes correct sounds much louder if there is no lowpass filter just use good speaker specifically with bigger magnets
Thank you so much.
perfect, thank you
Thank you 👍
What will be capacitor value for high pass filters for tweeters only?
It depends on the tweeter's impedance and frequency cut desired 🤷♂️
You have to search " crossover calculator" on Google you'll find many calculators.
Hi what value mh is the coil for first order band pass?
I think it was 1mh, but the purpose of this video is understanding how the crossover works and the difference between 1st and 2nd order cut.
@@homemade_audio im trying to figure out a good crossover for a midrange with mid bass
wonderful
Many thanks
What's the value resistor in passive crossover and what's the function of resistor in It. Thank you
Resistors on series in crossover are for reducing sound level
Hi. What sort of a Resistor should I used to match speakers (4 ohms) with my amplifier (6 ohms). 2 ohms of resistor (s) in series is fine right...? What about the resistors power ( like 5w, 10w so on).
TIA 😊
Adding a resistor to a loudspeaker does not vary its impedance, but the overall resistance of the circuit. To vary the impedance it is necessary to use an impedance transformer.
adding a resistor ( 2ohms 10 watts) can protect your amp but it can also change the speaker response.

@@homemade_audio I make a 2x monoblock amplifier Class A. 10W per Channel. And i Will make a 3 way Crossover!!! Great help!!!!
@@eletronicatiagosierra good luck 👍👍👍
You welcome
does it not matter if I use this same method into my 700watts speaker?
No. Caution with inductor core. Don't use ferrite core. Use air core inductors.
So positive on the circuit diagram is above negative but the red connector is below the black one. But red is positive????
