What are the crossover frequency and slope of my Boston car speakers?
A. We do not publish this information, as it doesn’t tell you anything useful about the crossover. Even if you know the crossover point and slope, you still do not know the type of network (Butterworth, L&R etc) as there are hundreds of ways to develop a crossover. We could build 10 different networks all with 18dB per octave slopes and each at 3000hz and have each one sound very different. And that’s not even taking into account for the fact that often our low pass and high pass sections of the network are at different slopes and don’t share the same crossover point. Someone asking us for a crossover point and slope is like someone asking Honda “How do I build and V-Tech and what is the best color?” It’s not that we don’t want to answer these questions; it’s simply a case of there not being a simple answer. If you using an electronic crossover the passive number will not translate to active values (active crossovers to do not have to account for impedance curves). Experimentation is g
