All depend on - do you have a loudspeaker "that wants to be modified" then the configuration is given - or do you want to
start from scratch.
There are a lot of possibilities if you are starting all over with a new loudspeaker. What are the demands, ideas,
surroundings, likings and the budget? What kind of drivers do you like? How capable should the loudspeaker actually be -
with regard to sound pressure level and low end frequency extend? Does the room set a limit? Yes - that is the question for
you to decide. Here are the options with a DCN23: |
|
2-Way
Very common and popular way of building a loudspeaker - often with a dome tweeter and two 6,5 inch woofers.
|  |
|
3-Way
Also very common and popular speaker configuration - with a dome tweeter, one or two 3-6,5 inch woofers as mid
and one or more 6,5 - 15 inch woofer performing the bass.
|  |
|
3-Way with bridged bass
What differs here is that the bass woofer is more capable or demands more power. The bass woofer is typically
a 10-18 inch with very high RMS power handling capacity.
|  |
|
3-Way with parallel bass
In this case we talking about 2 or more bass woofers in parallel or push pull coupling. The advantage of this
coupling of the amplifiers is that the power supply is symmetrical loaded giving extended low-end bandwidth.
