I am curious about cabinet specs and what they mean. Spawning this curiosity was a short discussion about HPF/LPF pedals and how it helps sound. This led me to give closer attention to the specs of my cabs that I'd primarily be using the filter on. My cabS... (2x) HARTKE HD210 Freq response: 50Hz - 17kHz -3dB -10dB LF Response: 35Hz Given these numbers, what is this telling me in relation to potential (aside from personal taste/flavor) HPF/LPF setup? Also, what is it telling me regarding mechanical and frequency limits of the drivers? If you can point me in the right direction and you have the time and inclination please, explain or even share a link that describes similar parameters. I appreciate the help. Description: 2 x 10" bass cabinet Power Handling: 500W RMS Impedance: 8Ω LF Drivers: 10" HyDrive paper/aluminum hybrid cones HF Driver: 1" HF Level Control: 3-position switch (-6dB, Off, On) Frequency Response: 50Hz–17kHz (-3dB) -10dB LF Response: 35Hz Inputs: 2 x Twist & Lock, 2 x 1/4" (wired in parallel) Cabinet Type: Sealed Cabinet Construction: Solid plywood, extensive bracing, dado joinery, textured vinyl covering Grille: Black perforated steel Additional: 1 x inset steel handle, 8 x steel corners Weight: 36.6lb (16.6kg) Dimensions: 14.5" (371mm) x 24" (612mm) x 15" (383mm)
You should use a 45-50 Hz high pass. Don't use a low pass. It tells you nothing about the mechanical limits, and nothing about the frequency pass bands of the individual drivers. There are no parameters listed. This is what parameters are, which you probably can't get for your drivers. Understanding Loudspeaker Data | Eminence Speaker
