Hello Zilch
Happy New Year!!
Nothing is getting pushed. Guidos crossover does not increase the power into the driver. All of these crossovers work by attenuation of the midband response. That is all you are doing.I believe that's harder than I've ever pushed 2435s, Guido, and if my sims are correct, 6 dB harder at 20 kHz than the Timbers filter:
There is no boost. 0db is the reference to a given signal level in this case 2.83 Volts or 1 watt input. What you seem to miss is the 14db is really a negative number. It is 14db down from the input voltage. Simply said the network provides 14db of attenuation at the frequency.Also, I don't understand the reference to "Unity," or zero dB at the high end. The amount of boost is relative to where it begins, and, using the notch at 2 kHz as benchmark, Timbers has 14 dB to 20 kHz from there, whereas you've got 20 dB, looks like....
Gregs filter is 7db from unity at 20K. Take a look at the voltage drive.
