    Linux Java Sound Problem

    FWIW, I have the exact same behaviour on Debian Linux with a Umik-1. REW will first see the mike, ask if I want to use it and then abort. Second start will make it work just fine. As if the mike needs two polls to wake up. Measuring impedance is a whole other matter, though. My Focusrite 6i6...

    refining my crossover (HELP NEEDED)

    There's a good explanation here: mh-audio.nl/Calculators/iec.htm. Not aware of the Xsim software you're refering to. As i said previously, to be able to calculate a Zobel network, you need to measure the inductance of the voice coil...

    refining my crossover (HELP NEEDED)

    This looks quite sensible. I'd wire the sub in series (8 ohms) to get a more manageable impedance (recalculate values for the XO, of course). No need for a high-pass at 16Hz, very few drivers have any significant output down there anyway. Unless you're able to measure VC impedance (borrow a...

    refining my crossover (HELP NEEDED)

    Oops, accidentally posted, not finished yet;-) I strongly suggest reading up on some basic loudspeaker theory, and getting yourself a cheap calibrated mic. Download the excellent REW-program from this forum and you can not only measure SPL to see what your new speakers are doing, but also...

    refining my crossover (HELP NEEDED)

    Hey, Not sure what you're trying to achieve here, is this a PA-system or just for your own home? You have a whole lot of power going everywhere. Also, I assume you have a very powerful amp for that 2 ohm sub, something like a proper PA-amp or maybe a old Threshold? Any reasonably affordable amp...
