Why Your Audio System Needs a Proper Crossover

1. High price with low‑quality off‑the‑shelf parts. 68% of U.S. integrators report paying 15‑30% more for “ready‑made” crossovers that fail durability tests.

2. Frequency overlap causing distortion. Without a correctly designed crossover, drivers compete, leading to up to 12 dB SPL loss in the mid‑range.

3. Lengthy lead times from overseas suppliers. Average delivery from generic Chinese factories is 45‑60 days, delaying projects and increasing inventory costs.

4. Compliance risk. Missing FCC, CE, or RoHS certification can halt shipments to the USA and Europe.

How To Design Speaker Crossovers

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right crossover for my speaker system?

Identify driver types (woofer, tweeter), desired crossover frequency, and system impedance. Our engineering team can calculate the optimal split using the speaker crossover wiring guide (PDF).

Can Xinchangda provide OEM design for a custom frequency split?

Yes. We offer full OEM/ODM design services, from schematic to mass production, with a 7‑day prototype turnaround.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for bulk crossover purchase in the USA?

Our standard MOQ is 500 units, but we can accommodate smaller runs (as low as 100) for fast‑track projects.

How are the crossovers shipped and what are the payment terms?

We use UPS or DHL for air freight (1‑3 days to U.S. ports). Payment can be T/T 30 % deposit + 70 % before shipment, or L/C at sight.

Do you offer a warranty or after‑sales support?

All crossovers carry a 24‑month warranty. Our technical support team is available 24 h/7 d via email, WhatsApp, or phone.
