What is a good crossover frequency for speakers?

80 Hz
The most common crossover frequency recommended (and the THX standard) is 80 Hz. On-wall or Tiny ‘satellite’ speakers: 150-200 Hz. Small center, surround, bookshelf: 100-120 Hz. Mid-size center, surround, bookshelf: 80-100 Hz.

What is a 2-way active crossover?

2-way Active Crossover – Splits the highs and lows for separate woofer and tweeter amplifiers. Audiophile grade Burr-Brown op amps, OPA1654 with 0.00005% THD+N. Uses high precision filter components for ultra low distortion and pinpoint XO frequency: Metal film resistors with 1% and 0.1% precision.

How to design your own passive crossover network?

This articles describes how you can design your own crossover networks for your Hi-Fi speaker set. Both first order and second order passive filter will be explained in this article. First order crossover network will give 6dB roll off curve for the frequency response, and the second order one will give 12dB/octave roll-off.

Are there any higher order passive crossovers?

Passive crossovers of higher order than 12dB/octave can be made but are difficult to construct. Most are inefficient and inaccurate, regardless of the academic theory that describes them as being superior. The more complex a passive crossover, the more energy is required from the amplifier for it to function.

How are passive crossovers affect a speaker system?

The capacitor and inductor can be in simple or complex arrangements. Passive crossovers are effective but not accurate, requiring energy from the amplifier to function (insertion loss) they reduce efficiency of the speaker system and contribute distortion especially at high power.
