Yesterday I built passive crosssovers as an option for the Yield, and have to say sounds damn near as good as the active network. The active network obviously has the advantage of room correction and time alignment but the passive has a few advantages of its own, like analog domain, and a single amplifier to drive them.

Here is a comparison graph between the active and passive networks, the passive is in green.

This was just a quick measurment taken with my Ipod, notice the lf response appears to be nonexistant due the the mic.

Looks great !

(I must check how this measurement is done with an iPod)

You could use active on the woofs and a simple cap on the fullrange.....if you hardwire your speaker wire to the cap and the cap directly to the driver you will get much better sound than using any connector.  All speaker wire hardware ruins the sound.  Hardwire.....please....you will love it.  Please bypass the large value film caps with a great sounding .1 to .33uf.  Make sure you orient the outside foil of all the caps toward the driver.

Been so busy lately, I have not had alot of time to work on my projects.

Recently I finished a set of Yields for a customer, and I have 2 more sets going out for demo. One pair is scheduled to make an appearance at AK-Fest, I hope that works out.

New crossovers, I still need to get the labeling done.

Well I picked up the Yield cabs from paint shop today, and they did a horrible job.

Guess I will have to find a better painter.
