    Crossover, passive to active, not that easy?

    Hi, I have a DIY set of speakers with a Tangband 1772 and 2 Eminence Alpha 15 like woofers for the lows. The speaker has a simple 500Hz 18 dB/octave HP, 12 dB/octave LP crossover. Because I bought a Hifiberry Beocreate I was thinking of making my speaker pair active and then use the 4 channel...

    Nice build Sprint. Meanwhile I build my own version of the Trio TB and it sounds great. Is there a owner who exactly know the crossover frequency of sub and fullrange? I choose the 1772 and after a long time with Alpha 15 I switched to another brand that sound better in my ears. And some...

If you have the type without TF at the end, there is metal on the backside and the upper part where the mount hole is, is made out of...
