skittlesRgood Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 you could simply get a lowpass crossover that goes to 4000hz. then use the highpass crossover on the amp set to 80hz. that will give you what you want. the 360.2 has a ton of features. but if you dont know how to EQ it could be a pain in the ass. plus the bluetooth dies on a lot of the units and they have to be sent in for repair. lastly, you said you didnt want to spend much Quote If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

kickass audio Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I agree with skittles, i paid a good chunk of change for my 3sixty.2 but i LOVE how it sounds. Heres how i have my 3sixty setup: front channels: used for my mid bass/6.5" speakers in each door rear channels: used for my tweeters in the a-pillars sub channel: used a y-adapter to couple two rca's on the single rca input and is used for my woofer the outputs are the same deal. I dont have the center channel used at all but i may eventually. And as far as the bluetooth dying, i have yet to have this happen and i bought the unit used. Plus just as a side note, do NOT attempt to use the 3sixty software on a windows 7 machine. even with the compatibility mode that windows 7 and vista feature, you cannot run the program right. It will run for a few minutes then drop the damn connection from your processor. I tried everything to make it work and im a computer technician and i couldnt get it to stay connected longer than 10 minutes. I just have another laptop setup for all the electronics and diagnostics for my vehicles. Its running windows xp media center with service pack 3 32-bit. Its running on a dell inspiron 1521 laptop and the bluetooth module is internal and is a dell 355 bluetooth module.

JZeFF Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) http://www.audiosavings.com/products/Car-Audio-Sound-Processor/CADENCE-CVL-2XR-24DB-2-WAY-CROSSOVER-and-9V-LINE-DRIVER/CVL2XR.aspx Thats what I used in my work truck, works great. I actually considered getting this one, but i have a few issues with it. I dont think Sundown or DC amps like getting a 9v signal from the source unit... Sundown likes a max of 5v, DC has a max of 6v. EDIT: the mb quart only likes a max of 6v as well Or does the knob labeled "input level" adjust how much voltage the unit runs through the RCA's? And in the description it says it has "Ground Isolation: 1Kohm" What is this good for? Will this help manage engine noise? (damn pico fuse in my pioneer is bad =[ ) Edited June 23, 2011 by JZeFF Quote Pioneer x930 bt Rockford t2500 bdcp 18" nightshade v1 DC audio 175.4 RF power T162s up front, infinity 3 way 6x9's in the back (removing rear stage and re-doing doors soon) 3x XS power D2700's Knukonceptz 0awg all around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickass audio Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) Im not too sure about the eq you are looking at as well as your headunit voltage it outputs but ill tell you what i found with my 3sixty and radio setup: 1.) My headunit (Alpine IVA-W205) has 4 volt RMS RCA outputs for the sub, front, and rear channels 2.) When i set the eq on flat on my h/u and played the 1000Hz test tone, i could turn the volume all the way up to 3.97v before it started to clip/distort 3.) When i knew how far i could turn up the radio before it started distorting, i tuned the eq on my 3sixty to be completely flat and then i set the levels. After i set my levels on the 3sixty, i maxed out at a 5.25v RMS output from the 3sixty.2 for all the channel outputs. The 3sixty.2 is made to run at a max of 6v outputs RMS since its also a line driver along with a eq. I cannot get my 3sixty to get the 6v rms without having a badly clipped signal. Now with how my amp is setup, its just currently my dc audio 175.4 and the gains are set on the amp to be about 1/8 of a inch from being all the way down. The 175.4 is made for a max of 6v for RCA inputs and im feeding it 5.25v and its not distorted a single bit and it sounds great and performs great. Point is, even though your headunit puts out a high amount of voltage, as long as its not clipping, theres a slim to none chance you will actually get the voltage the manufacturer claims. In order for me to achieve the full 6v outputs from my 3sixty, i will have to turn the gains all the way up and this will in turn make a clipped sine-wave that is pretty much DC voltage since its so insanely flattened out at the top and bottom and the slopes are almost vertical. I dont see how you can kill a amp with a higher voltage going into the amps input as long as its not clipping or distorted at all.
