Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

Mixed crossover and phase relationships?

Okay, so I'm now semi-active bi-amplifying my speakers:

-full range signal from amp(1) goes straight to original passive crossovers; a 6ohm resistor takes the place of the woofer on the crossover network; high-pass to the Atlas midrange driver (Klipsch K55) is 400Hz/ first oder

-second output of the preamplifier goes to Cabre AS45 active crossover, low pass to the second amplifier, 460Hz/12dB. Second amplifier is connected straight to the woofers.

Since first order crossovers do not alter phase, and 12dB crossovers cause 180° of phase rotation, is it correct to reverse the absolute polarity of the woofer cables, so that the signal they reproduce is in phase with the signal reproduced by the midrange driver?
