Look at the wavelength calculator I found ? [message #23812 is a reply to message #23811] Tue, 12 June 2007 20:38 Go to previous messageGo to previous message

The spacing in my VMPS RM 40's between the two 10 inch woofers is 54 inches.

According to the wavelength calculator, that is one wavelength at 250 hz.

I read somewhere that speakers need to be crossed over BEFORE they are 1/2 wavelength apart.

That would mean I need to cross at 125 HZ ?

I can do that, but my ribbons will not go down there.

NOW I think I see why VMPS staggers the roll off of their woofers ?

I really did not want to go back to the stagger tuned woofers because I do not like the idea of part of my midrange being reproduced by a 10 inch woofer stuck high in the air.

I am sensitive to Image shifts, and when I have the levels of the main ribbons set low enough to blend with the woofers, I can sometimes here the Image "jump" up to that top woofer.

Dunleavy used widely spaced woofers in the SC 4, anyone know how he got away with it ?
