In some embodiments, the mechanical connectors may provide a rigid mechanical connection such that tweeter filter assembly 112 and woofer filter assembly 114 may be handled as a single unit during installation and mounting. For example, the mechanical connectors may be snap-fit or press-fit connectors. Mechanical connectors 150, 152, 154, and 156 may be any suitable mechanical connectors for attaching tweeter filter assembly 112 and woofer filter assembly 114 together. A daisy chain connection may be advantageous to simplify wiring, particularly in applications where two or more filter assemblies are located relatively close together. In another example, two or more tweeter filter assemblies can be daisy chained together using feedthrough port 134.

Alternatively, cable 174 may be connected to feedthrough port 144 of woofer filter assembly 114.

When the filter assembly inputs are daisy chained, branch 172 a or branch 172 b of cable 172 may be eliminated. 2, is connected between feedthrough port 134 of tweeter filter assembly 112 and input port 140 of woofer filter assembly 114. In this example, a cable 174, shown as a dashed line in FIG. For example, feedthrough port 134 may be used to provide a daisy chain connection between tweeter filter assembly 112 and woofer filter assembly 114. Accordingly, feedthrough port 134 provides an unfiltered amplifier output signal. 2, input port 130 and feedthrough port 134 may be electrically connected within tweeter filter housing 121. As noted above, tweeter filter assembly 112 may include feedthrough port 134. Thus, crossover assembly 110 has a feature wherein tweeter filter assembly 112 and woofer filter assembly 114 are dockable to form the docked crossover configuration and are separable to form the separated crossover configuration, thereby providing a high degree of versatility and flexibility. The separated configuration may be advantageous in applications where the tweeter 102 and the woofer 104 are mounted in separate locations and in applications where mounting of a single, larger crossover assembly is difficult or impossible. The mechanical connectors also permit tweeter filter assembly 112 and woofer filter assembly 114 to be separated to form a separated crossover configuration. In some applications, the unitary, docked configuration may be advantageous with respect to mounting. Mechanical connectors 150, 152, 154, and 156 permit the tweeter filter assembly 112 and the woofer filter assembly 114 to be docked, or mechanically connected, together to form a unitary, docked crossover configuration.

Mechanical connectors 150, 152, 154, and 156 may be integral parts of the respective filter housings or may be individual mechanical connectors that are mounted to the respective housings. This arrangement provides a high degree of flexibility in the docking of two or more filter assemblies as described below. Similarly, woofer filter assembly 114 includes male mechanical connector 152 on one side of woofer filter housing 123 and a female mechanical connector 156 on the opposite side of woofer filter housing 123. 2, tweeter filter assembly 112 includes female mechanical connector 150 on one side of tweeter filter housing 121 and a male mechanical connector 154 on the opposite side of tweeter filter housing 121. For example, mechanical connector 150 may be a female connector, and mechanical connector 152 may be a male connector, or vice-versa. The mechanical connectors 150 and 152 are interengageable for mechanical docking of tweeter filter assembly 112 and woofer filter assembly 114. Tweeter filter assembly 112 further includes a mechanical connector 150, and woofer filter assembly 114 includes a mechanical connector 152.
