ive decided to use mt121 for my mids in a 4 way system. ive decided to cross the speaker and compression driver at 1.6khz (too high?)

im going to use an online crossover calculator to find out what components i need.

what is the best one to use out of these or does it not matter?

Its a bit of a black art the whole passive crossover thing.

The higher order slope the more component you, need what makes a bigger, heaver more expensive unit.

At a guess 2nd or 3rd order would work but the type of slope is a whole other kettle of fish

How are you going to handle time aligning the 12" flare/Compression driver ?

Or just use an LMS, and do it the "proper" way. LOL

Different drivers in MT121 prefer different xover freqs.

I'm building a preamp at the moment too. Should I make it 5 way and run it that way?

....use a soundweb and run the sub bass through a guitar distortion peddle and roberts your mothers brother!!

If it sounds like a gorilla is trying to escape, turn it down.
