I sort of asked this question on another thread, but I wanted to ask it a different way. Do I really need a crossover? What would happen if I hooked a woofer and a tweeter up that both had the full frequency range. Would it sound worse than if there was a crossover separating the spectrum? I'm assuming yes, but why?
When you say woofer do you mean mid driver? And yes I'd say you do if you want a crystal clear sound or run the woofer of amp on lp and tweeter of head unit with a hp filter
agreed, the tweeter HAS to be on a high pass filter. Running a tweeter with no protection will damage it. But I disagree that a woofer should be low passed. If it is a woofer then it is a full range speaker. But if it is a subwoofer then it WOULD be best paired with a low pass filter.
