Let's You and Him Fight can be a bit hackneyed, since it's a slightly cliched way of creating tension between the characters; perhaps in your crossover the characters could have a moment's friction, but actually decide to work together from the start?
They could even be old friends albeit unseen ones to other characters. If it's a Massive Multiplayer Crossover , there's some fun Worldbuilding to be had. Super Robot Wars created one whole new world and placed all the characters into it. Alternatively, you can say that all the stories took place in the same world from the start and create a world where they all have had impact, such as in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. The latter method can be more limiting, but can also be easier to build off of.
Just look at all the properties and explore what implications they have for the wider world, and put the pieces together. Frodo Baggins and Miley Cyrus should not be handling Digivices unless that series is also involved in some way. On that note, the caution against the Story-Breaker Team-Up stands. However, this does not mean that, e. Satan can't fight Worf in hand-to-hand; it just means that, e.
Goku stays off the Enterprise. These such limitations can also allow for A Day in the Limelight for characters that normally have less focus. Community Showcase More. Without a crossover, a messy, sonic "traffic jam" results. Your midrange and sub duplicate too many of the same frequencies and your sub wastes time trying to put out high notes it wasn't meant to handle.
A "fatal pile-up" could also occur, with your tweets being destroyed by some renegade tractor-trailer of a bass note thumping along in the wrong audio lane. Because they're essential, you'll find crossovers in some form almost any time speakers are present. For instance, if your home stereo uses a pair of 2-way bookshelf speakers, it uses 2-way crossovers inside the speaker boxes. Within each crossover, a high-pass filter blocks the lows but passes the high frequency notes to the tweeter, while a low-pass filter blocks the highs and passes low frequency notes on to the woofer.
Sound Ordnance PCB component system: woofers, tweeters, and crossovers. So, for example you could have a midrange driver only playing Hz to Hz. There are two basic kinds of crossovers: active and passive. Active crossovers require power and ground connections, but give you much more flexibility and fine-tuning control over your music.
An active crossover gets wired between the receiver and amplifier and cuts out the unwanted frequencies before the amp wastes energy boosting them, so the amp can focus on only the frequencies you want to hear. Some active crossovers include other sound-processing features like equalization for further tweaking of the sound to your personal satisfaction. But with a little time and care this shouldn't be a problem, and the rewards and advantages of an active crossover make it clear why you'll find one in virtually every competition-level car audio system.
Likewise, stereo systems tuned for high-quality sound will make use of crossovers in order to keep the speakers playing clean and clear. There are two kinds of passive crossovers: component crossovers that connect between the amplifier and speakers, and in-line crossovers that fit in between the receiver and the amp. Passive component crossovers step into the signal path after the amplifier. Component speaker systems come with their crossovers set for optimum performance, and they are simple to install and set up.
A full-range signal exits the amplifier and goes to the passive crossover which separates the signal into two parts and sends the high notes to the tweeter and the mid and low notes to the woofer.
Most passive component crossovers have optional settings that let you turn down the tweeter some if it seems too loud for the woofer. Since it is filtering a signal that has already been amplified, a passive crossover wastes power, releasing the unwanted parts of the amplified signal as heat. This is another advantage to using an active crossover, which is unaffected by speaker impedance.
Besides passive crossovers that operate on speaker-level signals and connect between your amp and your speaker components, there are also in-line crossovers that connect before the amplifier.
Installing an in-line crossover is a great and inexpensive way to sharpen the sounds of your system, especially in a component speaker system. Crutchfield Bass Blockers in-line crossovers. Another disadvantage of using in-line crossovers is that they react differently to different amplifiers, possibly changing their crossover points unpredictably.
If you plan on expanding your system in the future, it's wisest to go with a separate outboard crossover, instead of relying on the ones built into your receiver and amplifier.
While these built-in crossovers work well, they don't offer the total system control of an outboard unit. Also, if you ever upgrade your amp, you don't have to give up your crossover. Varying your crossover points is one approach to "tuning" your speakers. You can expect this adjustability from just about any active crossover. Setting crossover points also helps define the overall tonality of your system.
Setting your low-pass filter above Hz gives you the type of boom many rap fans are looking for, while pushing it down to 80 Hz tightens up your bass and improves front soundstaging. Because each output channel on an active crossover usually has its own level control, you can even use this component to compensate for varying efficiency or sensitivity ratings among your speakers.
You hop into your ride, slip in a CD and suddenly a hefty dose of unadulterated Dave Matthews Band is headed straight for your speakers. The lowpass cleans up Carter Beauford's kick drum and the low notes on Stefan Lessard's bass, and passes these tones below 80 Hz to your subwoofer system. Meanwhile, your highpass sends cymbal crashes and acoustic guitar harmonics to your tweeter, while limiting frequencies below 3, Hz. And Dave's vocals, Boyd Tinsley's violin, and other sounds between 80 and 3, Hz find their way through the bandpass crossover to your midrange drivers.
The crossover assigns the proper frequencies and levels to the various speakers in your vehicle, the pieces of the sonic puzzle fit together perfectly, and DMB sounds righteous. It's all good. You'll need patch cables and power wires to connect an active crossover. Check out all of the crossovers and other sound processors available at Crutchfield. Hello, Buck. Each speaker has two sets of binding posts - one for midrange and the other for bass.
The internal crossovers in the speakers have not been been disturbed. Bruce Thigpin, who designed the speakers, said such a set up is fine as long as one of the amps have gain control which the Parasound does. Would I get higher fidelity if I used an active crossover. Would it make a difference or would it be redundant since the speakers already have their internal crossovers?
I am not technically astute enough to do anything with the internal crossovers. Thank you so much! Equipment is 1 CT Sounds at Drivers are 4 Morel virtus 's, 4 Morel ccwr 2. Subs will be 2 Morel Primo 's. Can anyone tell me what type of active crossover i will need for this setup? BTW, i prefer the crossover brand to be a Audiocontrol product. Was going to go with Audiocontrol amps but don't want to spend more money when i already have new amps from CT Sounds.
Thanks ya'll:. So I have a home reciever that is w x2 and I want to add crossovers in my speakers the crossovers I have say w rms w peak will it still work. I have a factory radio on a Nissan Frontier. Wanting to keep the head unit but add an amp and active crossover for highs and mids. Already have a amp and two tens under the back seat for the bass tied in to a output converter from the rear door speakers.
What would I need as far as wiring to tie into the factory head unit to run to the crossover? Hi I have questions to the in-line crossover: based on my understanding, normally the in-line crossover is a wired capacitor, and it should be wired between amp and tweeter, or midrange and tweeter.
Essentially tall station wagons with passenger car handling and efficiency, crossovers offer the comfort and utility that once boosted SUVs, but with a softer ride. Sharing architecture makes better crossovers possible — now and in the future. Casey Williams is a freelance writer.
Skip to content. Now the crossover segment dwarfs every other segment. What makes a crossover a crossover? How it's built. How they compare. The Chrysler midsize sedan shares a platform with the Jeep Cherokee. How they help automakers. How crossovers influence cars. By Chicago Tribune Graphics. Oct 04, at PM. Latest Autos.

Comic companies are going berserk for crossovers right now, with Convergence , Secret Wars , and Swords of Sorrow all hitting shelves.
Let us start with the classic s Batman television show. Adam West and Burt Ward, crusaders against crime, appeared as Batman and Robin in this delightfully campy and iconic action-comedy, famous for its ludicrous dialogue, wacky theme song, and absurd sound effects. The crossover episode is fun as the heroes fight to take down a pink stamp stealing ring It was a strange show.
This is a clear foul that comes up in the crossover genre. Green Hornet and Kato just seem more competent compared to Batman and Robin. The Hornet and Kato sneak out at night, investigating gangs, while Batman chats up Commissioner Gordon. Overall, the Hornet and Kato just look cooler. That scene makes more out of the idea of having two top-dog heroes going head-to-head than any scene with costumes does.
Lets jump forward a few decades to Doomsday and examine a more serious event. This story was one of the first comics events I ever read, and I think it stands as one of the best.
In Doomsday , the titular super-powered juggernaut rampages across America before finally fighting and killing Superman in Metropolis. This entire arc is part of a great event because it uses its various heroes to build a threat. When Doomsday is first unleashed on the world, he beats up the Justice League with one hand tied behind his back. The writers skillfully use minor heroes to establish the danger for the showdown between Doomsday and Superman.
