    Default 3 Way Crossover

    I am looking at Schematic for 3 way crossover of any new Polk RT line Models,
    like RTiA9 or A7 or the previous gen to these, this is for DIY for my brother using db804 and monitor 30 as mid and highs, please help with this.
    And how to attenuate the 86db sensitivity vs M30 89db sensitivity (impedance is not an issue will be wired in series to get 8ohm load for db's)

    Attenuation is done with an L-pad. Be careful, as sometime sensitivity is stated as X dB/W/m and sometimes as Y dB/2.83V/m .

    The 2.83 volt is reliable, but then you need to make sure all drivers have the same impedance to avoid causing thr amp trouble.

    If you email Polk, they may send you the schematics for either of those speakers. It will be up to you at that point to incorporate them into a working XO with trial and error, or computer modeling programs.

    Think the best is to email Polk.
    thanks a lot for replies though.
