What crossover do I need to connect a 12" woofer (35hz-1khz) and a 2" titanium tweeter (2k-25khz ) in a cab?
* 2" titanium Super Tweeter
* 250 Watts RMS/500 Watts Peak Power
* 4-8 Ohms Impedance/Ferro Fluid Enhanced
* Sensitivity: 106dB
* Frequency Response: 2k-25kHz
* Mylar Crossover Capacitor Included
And
* 12" 500 Watt High Power Paper Cone 8 Ohm Subwoofer
* 8 Ohms Impedance
* Sensitivity: 89db
* Frequency Response: 35hz-1khz
* 250 Watts RMS/500 Watts Peak Power
It would be a good idea to have a midrange, a 12" woofer probably wont be really great at or over 1kHz. Since the rated responses ot the two devices don't over lap you will have to make some compromises, one might be tempted to split the difference an crossover somewhere between 1 & 2 kHz, but since a tweeter usually can't handle a lot of low frequency energy, I would would crossover at at least 2kHz and hope for the best.
Since the tweeter already in includes a capacitor, which will gave a 6dB/octave high pass at a frequency the manufacturer chose, and since a woofer already doesn't reproduce the high frequencies well, I think for a low cost two way system I'd wouldn't bother with a crossover except for the capacitor that is included. Just connect the capacitor in series with the tweeter, and connect that combination in parallel with the woofer.
