  10. Passive crossover power consumption

    in Mid's and highs

    Posted

    I have a passive and active system for my t1652-s tweeters. After i blew one of them by having them connected just to the amp i decided it would be better to just put the crossover it came with on for safe measures. I have it set to bi amp (even tho im only running the two tweeters off the crossover) and i have my 3sixty.2 set at 3KHz at a 24db crossover point and it is set to highpass. I noticed that when i set it to bandpass of 3KHz - 23KHz it was cutting out my highs a TON so i would only do it as highpass on the 3sixty.

    I am running them on a dc audio 175.4 amp with 14 gauge wire for the speaker wires and have not had any problems since i ran the crossover to just the tweeters. The mids i just have set to bandpass at a 12db slope on 65Hz - 3KHz and have no problems. When i get my SMD installed in a few weeks i am going to raise the crossover on the mids to 80Hz and make it a 24db slope since i dont need bass going to them since the smd will take good care of that.

    Also, just because i wanted to, i set the dc audio amp on the tweeter channels to highpass at 300Hz (thats as high as it goes) just as a precaution. I have the amp wired so that channel 3+4 are for the mids while channel 1+2 are for the tweeters.

    If you get lost in any of this hit me up and i can tell you all the specifics that i did to make it work. Ive had it installed since the beginning of june and have only blown one tweeter but that was totally my fault since i didnt have the crossovers set right and im feeding the mids and highs a decent amount of power over what RF rates them at and dont have any issues.

    this is what i have. my mids are running active and my tweets were getting too much power, even with the gains set and the freq tuned. i used the included crossover to bring them into a safer range.

    .... i dont understand whats happening here.

    Pioneer makes some of the best headunits on the market. thats indisputable. some of them NEVER clip. the EQ is top notch. They have an amazing array of functions and compatible formats.

    They have direct iPod control or control via the menu system. I'll admit, I'm not a fan of scrolling through all the menus. But with an iPhone or iPod touch, you can get to your music in seconds just a few taps.

    OP, you should consider some higher end Pioneer H/Us. They aren't even particularly expensive man.

    I can't believe I'm suggesting this because of your atrocious attitude towards guys who were trying to help you, but, if you want a good headunit, check out mine:

    This is the 710BT. The 7100BT is the same.

    Is it just me, or is this guy coming off as a douche?

    he thinks hes over my head... look at his illiterate post.

    ugh.

    and anyway dumbass...

    i mean OP...

    Pioneer has a whole bunch of headunits with REAR USBs. If your capable of typing and clicking, which, clearly you are, a Google search would show you.

    As a matter of fact. Here's a link.

    Just use your right mouse button buddy.
