Active Crossing

[sick6ness 1]

Going with a CDA-9887. What is the lowest the C1 can go safely?

No one knows the freq range on the C1's? Can't find anything in the instruction manual, just that the passive crosses them at 5K, and the range of the entire 61-2 set (50-22KHz)

You gotta think that whoever designed that passive for those drivers MUST know something about the optimal bandwidth performance for them.

What is with the obsession of forcing tweets down so low these days?? Active is cool and all, but jeepers.

I am with Foxpro here......5k-5.5k seems fine to me.....

Ok, ill stick with the 5K like the passives provide then. =\

for better answers check out the official hybrid audio forum, www.buwaldahybrids.com he has a lot of good stuff on there, and most of the team memers also post on there. FYI Scott did a ton of testing with those, and I believe he said the tweet could play down to 3khz if you really wanted, but for best performance 5 khz was used, 4.5khz was very close as I believe he almost went with that when designing the passives. See, he posted things he was doing with the clarus series on his own forum before they came out.

Scott got back to me on this, it can play lower but could have adverse affects on other things. 5KHz it is

Sorry for the lack of public reply. My SSA clone was on vacation for the last two weeks.

The C1 can easily play to 3,000 Hz. I just don't recommend it for this or any other tweeter.
