Setting up Pioneer 80PRS right


Recommended Posts

Hello guys,

i want to change my current setting from passive to active 3-way network. Front cinch for tweeter, rear for mid and sub for sub, right?!

i've got 2 amps (RF t2500bd) for my subwoofer,

1 amplifier (SPL Dynamics md 200.4) for my kickbass-mid speaker

1 amplifier (SPL Dynamics md 60.4) for my tweeters

i would set the following:
Subwoofer from around 20Hz to 80Hz

Kick-mid from around 120Hz to 3.5KHz

and Tweeter from around 4KHz to max

Can i leave the settings this way? can i also leave the amps range on "FULL" or should i enable also here LPF/HPF?

Thanks for any help!

Make sure you pull out the head unit and move the switch on the chassis from STD to NW first if you haven't already.

Yes, the preouts from top to bottom are high, mid, low.

You can set the crossover points wherever you would like. The beauty about being active is you have all of the control. I would suggest playing around with the crossover points little by little from your initial setting to find where it sounds best to you. If your initial setting is what is best, then so be it.

Yes, make sure your amplifier's crossovers are set to full pass if you want the points on the 80prs to be what is in control.

No need to use the crossovers on the amps if you're using the ones on the headunits so yes set them to full pass.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

thanks for your info.

i set the crossovers like the following:

sub till 80Hz

mid from 125Hz to 3.15kHz

high from 4kHz

slope all @24db

Yesterday i wanted to setup the amplifiers for sub (2xRF t2500bd in master-slave mode with remote punch EQ) and i was measuring with an osciloscop.

The headunit was clipping at volume 51 (with sinewave 40Hz -15db and 69V@voltagemeter) BUT the gain of the amps was completly down!!

i had to turn down the remote punch EQ to min to set the amps at around gain level 3 and 59V without clipping.

Is this headunit so powerful? or is something wrong at the amps? i read that some people can turn their 80PRS up to full volume 60 without clipping...

In order to turn the HU vol all the way up, go to Network 2 menu, turn low level to 0dB. Right now you are probably on +6dB.

Don't use a -15dB tone for gains. Highest I would go is -10dB.

you are saying midbass the 80PRS does not have midbass output only midrange. To go 3 way active on a 80prs you will need a dsp. P99RS is midbass capable.
