Hi, I'm a newbie with REW and trying to understand how the different crossover settings affect a single speaker. Using a Denon with Audyssey turned off and my speaker set to large, I ran two sweeps, one with the crossover set to 250 and another set to 40. I noticed that with a XO at 250, there are more lower frequencies getting through to my speaker than when set to 40 XO. I'm I missing something? From the little I know, my understanding is that when you set a speaker to a certain XO frequency, the dBs start dropping by each octave. I would assume that if I have my XO set at 250, by the time I'm around 30htz I should be close to -24db (assuming its a 12dB/octave)? At 30htz the 250 XO setting is around 6dBs higher than when the setting is set to 40htz.
Am I doing something wrong in REW when taking the measurement? Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks
