Using Passive Crossovers - Rockford Fosgate PUNCH 200M Instalación Y Funcionamiento

10. Perform a final check of the completed system wiring to ensure that all connections are
accurate. Check all power and ground connections for frayed wires and loose connections
which could cause problems.
NOTE: Follow the diagrams for proper signal polarity.
CAUTION: These amplifiers are not recommended for impedance loads below 2Ω.

USING PASSIVE CROSSOVERS

A passive crossover is a circuit that uses
capacitors and/or coils and is placed on
speaker leads between the amplifier
and speaker. The crossover delegates a
specific range of frequencies to the
speaker for optimum driver
performance. A crossover network can
perform one of three functions: High-
Pass (capacitors), Low-Pass (inductors
or coils) and Bandpass (combination of
capacitor and coil).
The most commonly used passive
crossover networks are 6dB/octave
systems. These are easy to construct
and require one component per filter.
Placing this filter in series with the
circuit will reduce power to the speaker
by 6dB/octave above or below the
crossover point depending on whether
it is a high-pass or low-pass filter. More
complex systems such as 12dB/octave
or 18dB/octave can cause impedance
problems if not professionally designed.
Passive crossovers are directly
dependent upon the speaker's
impedance and component value for
accuracy. When passive crossover
components are used in multiple
speaker systems, the crossover's effect
on the overall impedance should be
taken into consideration along with the
speaker's impedance when determining
amplifier loads.
