Piezo array Crossover:

#1 Post by PFF »

Hello Bill,
Can I run my plan by you and get some "Feedback" from the "Expert"?
Anyway, I plan on putting a 4 x KSN1165A piezo array in my 2x15 Kappalite 3015 bass cabinets. My question is do you think my "Simple" planed "Crossover" sounds like a good "Crossover" for this build /or would recommend a little different design?
1. piezo mounted 2 over,2under;
2. series-parallel wiring tweeters together;
3. 8ohm-20watt wire wound resister across positive & negative termenals;
4. a 4.7UF-250 volt ployproplyene capacitor in series on the positive termenal.

Any and All Help much apperciate. :feedback: :?:

Thanks Sincerely Phillip

1) Mount them stacked, frames touching, from the top edge of the cabinet downward.

2) Yes. Parallel wire 2, then series wire the 2 sets together.

3) No. Use the piezo filter Bill has posted in the forum and plans, as it applies to all piezo arrays.

4) See #3.

Please keep in mind that this forum is to support Bill's speaker designs.

Phatman has some good advice. Although since you're new to the forum I have to recommend looking I to bills designs. Either jack or omni tb would be a good choice. Those eminence drivers would work in t48s if they are the lf version. Food for thought.
