    I think I will never build a speaker in my life, but I still enjoy the videos! :P

    I like starting with a notch filter on the tweeter and an impedance compensator on the woofer. Then build the crossover on top of that. It enables the phase relationship between the woofer and tweeter to be more constant across the frequency range above and below the crossover frequency. In other words, the speaker drivers look more like resistors to the crossover network, so the crossover has a more predictable response. I’ve done this and then built 1st order high pass and low pass, which combined with the notch and z-compensation, acted as a 2nd order crossover quite nicely. Worked super well for my project. Anyway, just something you could try on the software pretty easily and see if you like it or not.

    So I have built a few proven designs and a few of my own full range designs. After watching your videos I really want to try my hand at a full custom design. Keep up the great videos.

    Many studio monitors are 2 way speakers, and all this may be a reason. Of course then there is the driver itself, the way an enclosure alters it's response, and the room they go in. Speakers. Lots going on! Great video!

    Thank you very much .. you made me seriously consider building my own speakers now ... i downloaded the software and started training on it ... made a couple of nice 2 way crossovers with dayton audio data sheets ( just for fun )

    Great minds think alike/fools never differ, unsure. Really appreciate the direction you're heading in man - word on the street is you're a very cool dude and this vid proves it. I've learned enough to know, I didn't know enough to know, I didn't know.

    I liked very much your videos, I am building now speakers with DSP crossover, but my target is to replace it with analog. Your video showed me that I can do that easily when I will be ready for that. Thanks a lot. YOU R Great!!!

    The Vituix software demonstrated has changed dramatically since this video and seems much harder to use. Any chance of getting an update basic guide?

    Very usefull video. Very well done. It will help me a lot when designing my future speakers. Back in the days we were just using calculators and books. Gonna be fun.

    You could always make save points where you think you like the settings, just label the file after what you liked/disliked about it and then continue to work and make new file names. Lots of your own profiles! :)

    Hola. Hace como 20 años empecé a fabricar crossovers de 3 y 4 vías de 2o orden de manera manual, fabricando también los embobinados con las formulas Butterworth pero desde hace como 5 años empecé con las formulas Linkwitz par obtener una mejor respuesta pero lo que ahora veo con estos softwares me tienen realmente asombrado. Esto es una maravilla para mi. Gracias.

    this was a great video, i only wish you would have described the various lines , I eventually figured out the bold grey was the average sound for that build.
