Combination of 1st order and 2nd order crossover in 3 way box
I'm re-doing some old Sansui 3 way boxes. Is it crazy to use a 2nd order crossover between the mids and highs but a 1st order between mids and lows. I want to crossover at 375Hz and 3K Hz. With the response of the mid and high drivers I think they would be better served with a steeper slope at the 3k mark. Does anybody have a crossover designer to help me with this or am I going to cause more phasing problems that will negate the benefits?
