Looking for indepth guide on Frequency, crossover and ohms's.

[krum]

Hi,

I'm looking for a really good indepth guide on frequency, crossover and ohms's. Looking for information like what numbers would fall into low, med and high frequency, and what the numbers should be on a low to high end speakers, etc etc. And also of course good information on crossovers and ohms's. I spent over an hour on google trying to find guides and such, but they all just give the bare minimum of what each does, and not go into the numbers of each and what to look for, for specific situations and such. If anyone has some bookmarked guides on this information, I'd love to have them!

Thanks!

This post is not answerable because you do not have enough knowledge of the subject matter to ask a question that it is possible to formulate an intelligent reply to.

Here is a good place to start: http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2203 and also Wikipedia.org Your question is a bit broad, so it will be quite difficult to answer as it stands.

Ummm, thats the entire point of having an indepth guide to GAIN that knowledge... that was the entire point of the post, so I could find a website(s) that goes over those topics in 20 pages if it has to be, to learn what needs to be learned. I know the basics from reading from a lot of websites, was just looking for more. Perhaps "guide" is the wrong word to be used. I'm just looking for a FAQ or a indepth lesson (more than one paragraph), on those topics. I wasn't looking for you guys to write out an essay for me. I was just hoping you knew a website that would have the info I was looking for.

I didn't think it was that broad. I just want to learn more about frequency, crossover and ohmes. Thanks for the link, I read through it and it was helpful but its just on how to setup a HT, and has nothing on the 3 things I'm looking to learn about.

I thank both of you for replying at least. I'm sure sooner or later I'll find a website page, or perhaps a book with the info.

Here is what I mean:

Frequency - that really isn't a question?
Crossover - internal to the speaker or in a receiver (aka bass management) in a complete system? A speaker's crossover can be simple or very complex and there are a lot of factors. As a system, that is also not so black and white - there's plenty to discuss there as well.
Ohms (impedance) - you can find this info anywhere on the web as this is extremely well defined, but that isn't a specific question either.

Are you talking about how these interact together within a speaker design? In terms of a speaker, impedance varies with frequency and the crossover needs to be tailored to the specific design and also has to take into account the impedance of the design.

I guess the problem is from my original post. I'm not really looking for a specific answer, I'm just looking to gain knowledge of the topics I mentioned (indepth, as I mentioned before). So when I read stats on those areas, I'll know what I'm looking at like an expert. Yes, I know the basics from all the websites I've visited, but its what *I* consider very basic. I like to learn and know how things work. For many people, as long as they have a general idea how things work they're good. I was just looking for more thorough details and explanations. Sorry for the confusion, that was my fault.

I agree with the others, but for a "shotgun" approach, checkout the following links and especially the "sticky" sections:

And I agree with your agreement. As I said, it was my mistake. Thank you very much for the links! Some of those stickies are very informative!

You might consider investing in a copy of The Loudspeaker Design Cookbook, by Vance Dickason. Its target audience is the DIY community - that is, enthusiasts with a non-technical background who wish to gain sufficient knowledge to design and build their own loudspeakers.

The problem is none of those topics are directly related. You should may be consider purchasing a primer in electrical physics.
