in general, but depending on the type of crossover the values ​​change. For exemple the values ​​of the capacitors for a 1khz 8ohm high pass filter of the butterworth type are different than those for linkwitz or bessel.

Nice project but making an inductor using loose wire around a steel bolt will be bad for bass quality because the wire is quite thin and the bolt will store magnetic energy as hysterisis and distorsion. I think your project deserve better in that departement. Good luck!

[@homemade_audio]

Thank you, you welcome 🥰

[@Rk-hx9gt]

Sir please explain to calculate for various power of crossover

[@homemade_audio]

@@Rk-hx9gt first step you have to know the speaker’s frequency response of each of you drivers found in the specifications, then on web you can find many speaker's crossover calculator to calculate values of caps and inductors needed. For high power you have just to by caps that supports high voltage ( 600-1000v) and inductors based on big wire gauge. In general the best way is to follow manufacturers recommendations. For first experience try to make crossover based on recovered parts and try many setup possibilities. Make crossover isn't easy but possible.

What diameter is the screw that acts as a core in millimeters? Very good video, very easy to explain, thank you very much from Argentina

[@efiweisman8779]

The values ​​of the capacitors are a little strange. Going down to the level of 1 microfarad per tweeter is an exaggeration. 4 This is normal. And a woofer can get 36 to 50 microfarads. Anyway I loved your video. I have a bigger problem and it seems that my woofer is knocked out. I have already tried all the capacitor values. And nothing helps. Not interested in investing in new speakers right now

[@homemade_audio]

Hello, The values of any capacitors or inductors on any crossover depends on the values of frequencies cut and drivers used.

[@qddk9545]

As you can hear in the video, you will never get a good result this way !! The bass filter seems to be 12 dB, the midtone 6 dB, but with no cut of treble, and the treble 6 dB.

[@homemade_audio]

I used jbl le5 as midrange that can work without high cut, look at jbl 4311 crossover to understand. There's always different way to use drivers , and it's also possible to use first and second order filter in same speaker and adjust phase physically

[@maxirunpl]

I'm a beginner. What is the problem? Should they all be made 12db or 6db or how to cut the treble from midrange if you say it hasn't been done here.

Si no quiero subwoofer, omito poner los componente para el subwoofer.?? Quiero solo tweeter y woofer.. Los capasitores son apolares, sin polaridad?

[@christiansales100]

Cross over are used for bass improvement of depth sound. I never had luck using the same power from amp to sub woofer. Subs don't need a very good amp to drive bass. Mids and tweets need a very good clean amp to sound good. I have 3 amps in my cars to separate base, mids, tweets

[@brucetungsten5714]

Awesome video!

[@homemade_audio]

thank you 🙏

[@goodyboy73]

In 3 ways speaker system of 12dB, how to improve a better separation between the woofer and mid?. Separation means to cut-off the mid-bass frequency from the woofer circuit . Should i change of capacitor value ( 15uF to lower value ) or increase the coil turns? .

[@homemade_audio]

Less cap value for midrange will make more space between midrange and bass response but that means also that some frequencies will be missing on response!!!

[@doxzlaborathory]

You need a inductor on that mid to filter high tones

[@homemade_audio]

Not necessarily. It depends on the frequency response of midrange, for exemple on jbl 4311, jbl l100 there's no low pass filter for midrange crossover section. The video crossover is very easy for beginners, but soon I'll make advanced crossovers with resistors and Lpad for x drivers.

[@doxzlaborathory]

@@homemade_audio You need it, to add more resistance because of induction so the more signal will go through Hightone speaker.... (You also dont need to add inductance on bass, but you do it because you want to increase inductance in higher frequencies so the signal will go through lower resistance and that will be mid and tweeter)

[@tomkocur]

@@doxzlaborathory you won't add more signal to the tweeter by not adding inductance (even though that's an extremely LoFi solution). You are decreasing the impedance above the highest fs, though.

[@prawny12009]

Necessary to prevent amplifier seeing too low impedance at certain frequencies? (Speakers in parallel lower impedance)

subscribed i hope there's more like this these will be helpful for my endeavors somebody told me that when making an inductor there can be no crossing of the wire? they must have been wrong because it sounded wrong but i see you had a few points where the wire crossed over itself, they were saying that it had to be perfectly spiral wound, which didn't make sense because how do you get the next layer with out at least one cross?

It's coated wire, so no shorting. Enameled wire is also called "magnet wire".

can you help me build crossovers for a pair of jbl Prx535 driver in working order but the self power amplifier plates is gone. Any help will be appreciated Thank You

[@onesikm3]

What is the reason you put a cap in series with the inductor coil for the subwoofer/midbass ? Is it to create and band pass effect ? If I want to only use the coil as a low pass filter then I don’t need the cap correct ?

[@homemade_audio]

Not on series!! It's on parallel after inductor that's on series! Your attention plz: - one inductor on series is a first order low pass filter. - one inductor on series plus cap on parallel after inductor is a second low pass filter.

[@Zombiesmoker]

Great vid! So if i do like you do but with stronger coil and 450v instad of 100v? I Will be able to run more watt than 100w? And when do i need resistors?

[@homemade_audio]

Yes of course but for strong drivers too, Resistors are for level control

[@Zombiesmoker]

How much watt will 450v handle? If i use kinda good quality like 20 euro capacitors? Level control? So you dont play to loud on the tweeter for example?

[@homemade_audio]

@@Zombiesmoker about 300watt. To get flat response, drivers with high sensitivity must connected through resistor to reduce there level to the poor driver 's level.

Only the 15uf is polarized, the rest is non polar?

Because it's not a mkp capacitor. Mkp are very expensive than electrolytic one. In crossover we put mkp in the place where it's on serie. And on parallel we put cheep electrolytic caps. You can also use non polar electrolytic on parallel no probleme. But the place where the sound go through the caps (in series) we must put high quality mkp caps to get good result.

No problem. But for this drivers you'll need high power amp , then the crossover to support high power must have a strong components : - for capacitors keep the same value of uf but for voltage take 450v or more, for example: 600v 4.7uf instead of 50v 4.7uf. For coils: 1mm wire instead of 0.2mm wire, and keep the same number of spears. Another important things! Use drivers with the same sensitivity as possible to get flat response in yor speaker. Iif not add resistor to the driver who has high sensitivity to reduce his level of sound response.
