We use this in all of our loudspeakers...
Dave, it would be very easy for a competitor to fully understand you crossover by simply buying a speaker and doing a simple analysis of the components and interconnects. I used to do some competitor analysis of ICs and it isn't that hard to figure out how things work, including the micro-code.

What convinced me to buy three of your speakers (and getting ready to buy two more) was the extensive amount of data on them that your web site has available, and the great reviews on other sites. Keep up the good work!
