Hi Guys,
Im new here and don't know much about electronics so please bare with me as I try to explain what I would like to know.
If you have a classic design speaker it has a passive crossover inside consisting of mainly capacitors and inductors changing the frequency (or limiting) to send low HZ to the woofer and High Hz to the tweeter, thus protecting the drivers by limiting the frequencies the have to re produce.
When you have an active crossover it changes the frequencies even before it gets amplifier and then the amplifier only amplifies a specific frequency range then send it to the speaker.
NEXT: (active post amplifier crossover)
So from your amplifier you will connect the speaker wire to the electronic crossover which will then electronically divide the frequencies in a much more stable and effective way into a 2, 3 4 way split which can then be sent top the drivers inside the cabinet ?
Why has no one built an POST Amplifier electronic corssover? Will it be to big, heavy, expensive?
Example: Source--->Amplifier--->speaker wire--->Electronic crossover---->speaker
