Trâgîk Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Ive installed my components, rockford fosgate t1652s, and i have the mids running active, where should i set the crossover switch on my amp? Its a 3 way switch the reads lpf on the left, full in the middle, and hpf on the right...need a little help with that... Also there is a little static or noise on the mids, i think because my rcas are near the 4 channel amp power, thats could he why right??? Its dark now but ill change it tomorrow, i realize it when i was running them Last but not least, i only have a DMM for tuning, what frequency do i use to tune my mids? 1khz?

fr34kout Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 If you're running active, you want a lpf and a hpf for the mid range drivers. Depending on where you want it crossover, usually something like 125 HPF and 2k-3k LPF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok then i would run them full, in the middle and use both lpf and hpf, i think thats how it works Quote -----SELLING EVERYTHING---- 2 DC sound labs 3.5k's (still avail) 2 HDC312A D1's (still avail) 5 XS Power Batteries (1 d3400 and 1 d1200 left) 4 runs of knukoncepz 0 gauge (have all the wire still) DC power 270XP alt (sold) RF T1 6.5 components (both sold) Powerbass XAX 4160 (still avail) Custom built box 4.75^3 tuned 34hz (still avail) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPINE408 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 active as in anouther cross over or active as the xover on your amp ether way you want you xover on the amp to be at full Quote Have you ever had your woofers blown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fr34kout Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 The way you made it sound was that there was just a 3 selector switch where you can only choose LP Full or HP with no pots to adjust the settings. If you have both LP and HP pots, set it at full and adjust each pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fr34kout Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 If you're running the mids active, you should also be running the tweeters active. Are you asking how low they are normally crossed with the provided crossover? If that's the case, might as well just run the passive crossover for the mids and tweeters imho. Most people who run active usually give mids their own channel and tweeters their own channel on either the same or different amps, and bypass passive crossovers all together.

Trâgîk Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Yeah they are on thier seperate channels but i was asking what frequency the passive xovers used for the tweets normily but i read in the manual its 3khz. But im new to the whole compoment passive acfive shit and i was noticing i cant run the mids active either because the amp doesnt have a bandwidth adjustment right? If thats the case, do you guys recomend a decent 2 or 3 way crossover that i could use? I really want to run active Quote -----SELLING EVERYTHING---- 2 DC sound labs 3.5k's (still avail) 2 HDC312A D1's (still avail) 5 XS Power Batteries (1 d3400 and 1 d1200 left) 4 runs of knukoncepz 0 gauge (have all the wire still) DC power 270XP alt (sold) RF T1 6.5 components (both sold) Powerbass XAX 4160 (still avail) Custom built box 4.75^3 tuned 34hz (still avail) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
