good examples, but I was thinking more along the lines of padding down a tweeter, not crossover points.
Point being that human hearing has much greater resolution than 3dB.

As long as they mesh properly they will work. the problems come when things DONT mesh up properly. the sounds from the 2 drivers can cancel or partially cancel (I agree) which is all sorts of screwy. In a single driver system this whole issue is less important. there is nothing else to reference the mis-phased sound to, and you just go with the flow. |
