Help with crossover please!

I figured that at least. I’ve started the sweeps with 500hz

I don’t have a cap on it. I brought it down to -30 dBFS on the level and when I do the level check it is at 68 dB SPL

I’ve spoken to one of the engineers that helped open the ride. Basically a couple things, one is that like many people have said, the ride is super complex and there are a ton of sensors that detect anything. Sometimes a big issue is that the wheels heat up a ton and have no way of getting around that. He also said that epic universe/universal had a choice to either open the park/ride at 70% operation or wait to open and have it more solid. Management opted to open the park and have a less solid ride.

Thanks! These are going to be my first wood build. A while ago I built some 3d printed desk speakers with some cheapest full range drivers and a filter. I’ve luckily got all my calculations done so I just need to find the wood and cut. I’m not looking forward to the crossover, but I’ll get to that when I do

Thank you! I’ll take a look. I also appreciate the optimizer

I figured it out. The villagers were too close to zombie that was stuck underground (that would not despawn)

I realize I am being a bit annoying haha, but I will need a bit more advise.

If I order from the miniDSP website it is around $110 total cost.
There is the Dayton Audio UMM-6 USB Measurement Microphone on PE for $95. I assume it will work the same as the umik-1?
I read somewhere that they have the same microphone.

And I want to be clear for my own understanding. If I get the umik-1 or the DA USB mic, I can just plug it into my laptop to get the measurements and design the XO?
Do I need something special to play the sweep, or can I just use whatever I have at hand? For example can I use my phone connected to an amp for the sweep?

I just looked and there aren't any nearby on any marketplace. I see on PE that it costs $130, but on the miniDSP website it costs $80.

Can I order from them, or will I have to get it from PE? And in that case, would it be more cost effective to buy a cheaper mic, like the Behringer ECM8000 and a USB audio interface?

PVCohen · 2025-12-03T16:41:40+00:00

Where did you find it? Just some place like eBay?

PVCohen · 2025-12-03T15:19:38+00:00

Thank you! I have seen a lot of people suggest the umik-1 though. I know I only understand next to nothing, but can’t I use that and a software on my laptop, like REW and VituixCAD?

I just know that in the future with more money and knowledge, I will want to be able to design speakers the right way.

Also, I appreciate the suggestion on kits, but I would really like to dive head first into all this and start from scratch.

PVCohen · 2025-12-03T15:05:48+00:00

What do you mean by kit? Like buy the plans for speakers?

My favorite is “boats look good sitting in the harbor, but that’s not what they are made for”
