This is almost never a problem for ready-made crossovers you buy as this is usually already taken into account when they’re designed. You can do this by reversing the wiring at the speaker terminals in the crossover building stage or reversing the connection polarity label once it’s completed. For 3-way crossovers, reverse the bandpass speaker (midrange speaker) polarity.For 2-way crossovers, reverse the tweeter connection polarity.Image showing 180 degree out of phase audio waves and the resulting in-phase (0° difference) condition after reversing the speaker. It will also sound “weird” because the timing of the audio waves you hear conflicts with each other. ![]() It can result in destructive interference (sound wave cancellation) that occurs in the overlapping range of sound between the two speakers (three speakers in the case of a 3 way system) near the crossover frequency. When building your own speaker crossover and using a 2nd order or other even-order designs, it’s important to remember to reverse one speaker driver to correct the 180 degree out of phase condition.Ĭrossover capacitors and inductors each add a 90° phase difference, giving even-order (2nd order, 4th order) crossovers a resulting 180° out of phase condition that will affect the sound.
