Help with Resitor?

I'm trying to set up a simple two way speaker system using the following components.

Two SR powered speakers and Two Turbosound Powered bass bins.

Both fed from line out mixing desk.

What I want to do is limit the amount of bass frequency to the SR powered cabinets without using an active crossover. I can feed a signal to the bass bins, which in turn has its own crossover, which has a line out to the smaller top speakers, but I want to reduce the bass frequency - I've read that you can just put a resistor in line to the smaller speakers that will do the job.

Now I've a good working knowledge of electronics, but theory is not one of them. Any ideas welcome

think about a series capactor to the smaller speakers which will limit the bass

as you have a good working knowledge, just try any old caps and see what works and what doesn't.

Good job they didn't apply your solution to the testing of the atom bomb!

I guess they knew speakers weren't useful in an atom bomb, particularly with too much bass.

Start searching the web using terms like 'speaker' 'crossover' and 'calculate'. A site like:

comes up. It may be useful to you - there are plenty of others. Philips (used to anyway) have a book which was basically a design bible for crossovers. I no longer dabble in such stuff so have lost the links I had, but that one seems worthwhile.

Cheers.
