Passive Crossovers

They each go between your amplifier and a speaker and do not require a power connection, a turn-on lead, or grounding. You connect the speaker wire coming from your amp to the crossover's input. Then the tweeter gets wired to the tweeter output, and the woofer to the woofer output. That's it.

Do I need to install a crossover?

If your car audio system uses coaxial speakers, you probably don't need an additional crossover. ... Even if you add an amplifier into the mix, the built-in speaker crossovers should be more than sufficient. However, you may need a crossover if you add an amplifier and a subwoofer to that type of system.

Does a crossover go before or after the amp?

An active, or electronic crossover goes between the receiver and the amp. It handles low-level preamp signals with its solid-state circuitry to cleanly divide the signal and send each band of frequencies in the right direction.

What is the purpose of a crossover?

A crossover serves as a filter that blocks out unwanted frequencies to a speaker or group of speakers. This is extremely useful because it allows us to specifically send each speaker the group of frequencies that it will play most efficiently and effectively.

What is crossover circuit?

Audio crossover is an electronic filter used in audio applications to send the appropriate signal to the speakers or drivers. ... Crossover circuit splits the audio signal into the different frequency band that can be routed separately to the speakers.

Do midrange speakers need a crossover?

You would only need a crossover if you had a separate Tweeter, a mid range speaker and a subwoofer. Although if you wanted to you could use a crossover before the signal gets to the full range speaker.

Do 2 way speakers need a crossover?

In order to split the audible frequency range between different speakers, crossovers are used. ... Because of this, how the crossover is set up is crucial to the overall sound quality of a 2-way or 3-way speaker system.

What does a 2 way passive crossover do?

Passive crossovers allow you to split the power of a single amplifier channel to drive two different speakers. Fewer amplifier channels can dramatically reduce the system cost, since you only need a pair of amplifier channels to run a full set of speakers.
