With the sa 6.5cs v2 component's how low can I safety set my hpf? My subs lpf is at 63hz 24db slope. Would hpf with the same settings be safe? I'm getting around probably 150 to 160 watts per side running the sundown passive crossovers also.
-
Lpf frequency start at 80hz work your way down till your happy with the sound. Subsonic filter 20hz. Don't use the punch eq at all. Gain that's a hard one really depends on your headunits pre amp voltage is and where your H.U max unclipped volume is . This is where a dd1 or o scope can help.
-
most likely, I went with -2.5db on the amp gain via dd1 so far so good.Maybe you are just overpowering them
-
but output is changed due to driver impedance and that is getting more or less power from the selection on the crossover.that's the output side, your problem happens before that.
-
my crossovers being a pain in neck to get to do you think going with the 0db setting on them would tone them back enough to keep it from happening?it could be the music too. You are running them at their max RMS rating pretty much, so any badly recorded music could be doing this.
-
honestly don't understand your logic here. Everything is set flat no eq boost at all head until clip free at 40 out of 40 volume, I set made 39 my max, gain set with Sq track on the dd1. Steve himself has said once set you can go to your max volume trouble free. I would agree with you if I set using-10db it's to much. Amp is rated 120 Watts x 2 @ 4-Ohms so power should be a good match.
You are killing your tweeters because its not loud enough. Otherwise just turn the volume down a little.
I'm lost I never said I was trying to get louder! Just trying to maximize what I have.If you want to be louder, you could add another set of tweets and mids.

track 4 -5db 1kHz.what dd-1 track did you use to set you p300?

definitely but going with 0db on the crossover wouldn't that equal out the power with the woofer and help the tweeters from over working because +3db has to be over working them I believe.If your tweeters are cutting out then you are kicking their butt. The dd1 is just a reference. Different songs can be recorded at different levels and different sources can have a different level too. Ultimately it is up to the operator of the volume control.
-
yes I have the dd1 on the amp output not on the crossover. I'm basically I guess looking at if I'm setting my gain at -5db on the amp then having the tweeter on +3db it's stressing the tweeter over power? And robbing mid bass performance from the woofer.That's for attenuation of the tweeter, it allows you to modify the tweeter output in case they at to sharp or making a little. I'd stay with it at 0dB. I feel like you should be hooking the dd1 on the amp output before the crossover when checking for distortion, but I might be wrong.
-
On the sundown sa cs6.5v2 crossover it has for the tweeter +0db, -3db and +3db when using the dd1 to set gain on a rockford p300x2 should I do the tweeter on +0db? I ask because as of right now I'm set to +3db and at max volume set all with the dd1 my tweeterson will cut out dew to protect circuit.
-
Can the scv 1500d handle 0.5 ohm? I have seen that the larger scv line can do it fine.
-
sounds awesome, I have been needing to replace an old set and wanna get yours they look sexy lolOur container is in port on the east coast with the RCAs =)
So I am assuming we'll get it next week.
-
Can't find any available online.
-
So when is the Sundown rca cable getting released?
-
I'm just wondering if everything would be ok at even hpf of 80hz if I do -5db with the gain on the dd1Okay, you're good then. I must've missed where you said the high pass was set on the deck.

right now I have the hpf on my hend unit at 100hz it has a 12db slope.Earlier in the thread someone told you to run full range.
In my opinion that was bad advice.right now I have the hpf on my hend unit at 100hz it has a 12db slope.
You should absolutely have a high pass filter set on your components. Otherwise you will destroy them by trying to play too low.

been running this week at -2.5db thinking about trying the -5db now the sundowns should handle it is hope. I still have the kappas on each channel also running passive on the infinity crossovers. So total rms handling should be close to 200 watt per channel I believe.
it sounds like your amp is slightly too big for those mids/highs. That 300x2 is probably doing 400 watts. Get the proper sized amp or use the -5 to start with and back it down a little bit. I wouldn't use the 0db track. Personally, something like a -2 or -3 overlamp would be perfect for those IMO.I have a rockford p300x2 running a pair of infinity kappa tweeters that say 50 watt rms and a pair of pioneer ts-D1730C 60 watt rms soon to be sundown sa 6.5csv2 .. with the dd1 currently would I be ok with the -5db track?
-
Now I have to boost eq settings to do what the pioneers did set with -2.5db setting sound like with no eq boost.
-
I used the -2.5dB first then went to -5db and honestly the setup now with the sundowns just doesn't sound as loud as the old pioneers. Should I do -7.5db?
-
passiveTry it out. Don't go hammering on it right off though. Slowly turn it up after setting with the -5dB and listen for any popping, distorting, smells. Make sure sub-bass is off so you can really concentrate on what the mids and tweets are doing. But all in all, I think you should be good to go.
You may have mentioned it already, but are you doing active or passive?
-
I have the sundowns in now, so would -5db be safe to use now?
-
thanks steve, I went with a larger amp because I'll be installing the sundown audio sa6.5cs v2 soon as the weather is good, I figured I would be at a good power match up with them.

?
No...So at 0dB the amp is doing its full rms rating correct? I want as loud as I can safely go without clipping everything to hell.
Sa 6.5cs v2 component hpf setting?
