The low-mid frequencies are sent to the woofer, while the high frequencies are sent to the tweeter, using a crossover. The term, 2-way, indicates that the audio signal is separated into two frequency bands: low-mid and high.

Tweeters are relatively small electromagnetic or piezoelectric drivers capable of reproducing frequencies beyond 5 kHz. Horns are often used with high-frequency drivers to further reduce the diaphragm excursion requirements.

Luckily, to efficiently reproduce high frequencies requires far less diaphragm excursion than is required to reproduce low frequencies. The excursion of a tweeter diaphragm is limited by its physical size. Tweeters are loudspeaker drivers designed to reproduce high frequencies. They are direct radiator cones, commonly sized 5 to 12 inches in diameter to allow for more accurate reproduction of higher frequencies. Mid-range woofers can produce frequencies in the range of 60 Hz to 6 kHz. Their design is nearly identical to that of subwoofers, however they are generally smaller and capable of less extreme excursions. Woofers are loudspeaker drivers designed to reproduce low and mid-range frequencies. Subwoofers are most commonly direct radiator cones, sized at either 12, 15, or 18 inches in diameter. Subwoofers can generally reproduce frequencies in the range of 1 Hz to 150 Hz.

In other words, low frequency drivers are large speakers capable of large movements. This requires a speaker with a large diaphragm area and long diaphragm excursion. To efficiently reproduce low frequencies, a large volume of air must be moved.

Subwoofers are loudspeaker drivers designed to reproduce low frequencies.

Download the Speaker Placement Guide and the Speaker Specifications Guide if you’d find that helpful. I’ve created two guides that will clearly walk you through the common rules for speaker placement and the most important speaker specifications to consider when choosing speakers. If you are designing a sound system, the first step should be to roughly determine the placement of the speakers and the second step should be to choose your speakers. Speaker crossovers are implemented using either circuits enclosed within speaker cabinets or processing before the input of a power amplifier.

The function of a speaker crossover is to divide a full-range audio signal into its high, mid, and low frequency components and to distribute each frequency band to the loudspeaker driver best-suited to reproduce it. A speaker crossover is a technology used in audio production to optimize speaker system performance by sending each speaker only the frequencies it is designed to accurately reproduce.
