Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Your explanation doesn't work

You wrote "both conductors are driven by the full range signal at the amp" the reality is both conductors have the POTENTIAL to CONDUCT the full range signal.

You wrote "the high pass portion of the cross over is BLOCKING low frequency currents from flowing through the tweeter". The reality is chosen frequencies are not blocked or shorted, they are in effect shown an near infinite impedance or open circuit, and with an open circuit no current flows.

With a near infinite impedance from the high pass portion of a crossover, no low frequency current flows through the high frequency CONDUCTOR between amp and speaker.

With a near infinite impedance from the low pass portion of a crossover, no high frequency current flows through the low frequency CONDUCTOR between amp and speaker.
