Nice OB’s. I’m new to OB’s, what is the purpose of the filter?
Hello Vincent C.
Looked at your build on the Parts Express Customer Project Gallery. Very interesting on the open baffle work.
I am asking if your crossover network is designed to tone down the 5khz shriek mentioned by other folks. i have boxed mine in the.22cuft knock-down cabinet by Parts Express and wondering if your crossover design would do similar attenuation in a closed system. Thanks, eddie
