Do Crossover/Filter Components Get Hot During Operation?

#1 Post by David Carter »

Trying to decide where to mount the filter components inside my DR250's, and it would be helpful to know whether the components get hot during operation and need to be kept from touching materials like mattress foam or pillow stuffing.

Thanks.
Dave

Built:
- Omni 10 (S2010 + piezo array)
- 2 x DR250 (DL II 2510 + melded array)
- 2 x Titan 39 (BP102 - 14"W)
- 2 x Titan 39 (3012LF - 20"W)
- 4 x DR200 (Delta Pro 8B + melded array)

Not very, but prudence dictates to never put electronic components in direct contact with insulation materials.

Another reason I was curious about the heat issue was because I was wondering if they would heat up enough to soften hot melt glue if I used that to secure the components to a wood surface. I was guessing that would not be an issue as I seem to recall that this is what others have done, but I wanted to make sure.
