The following information is about crossover.

crossover Defined

An electronic network for dividing sound into high and low frequencies for reproduction by woofers, tweeters, etc. A crossover for a two-way system would consist of a high-pass filter that sends the high frequencies to the tweeter, and a low-pass filter that sends the low frequencies to the woofer. For a three-way system a band-pass filter is added to send the middle frequencies to the midrange speaker. The response beyond the crossover frequency is reduced by an amount that depends on the order of the crossover filters. A 1st order filter reduces the response 6 dB per octave, a 2nd order 12 dB per octave, a 3rd order 18 dB per octave, and a 4th order 24 dB per octave. Crossover design is discussed in the section on sound system design.
