davewms9605 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 I need help setting the crossover frequencies for my new settup. I have a Cadence ZRS-55KS component set for the front stage and a pair of American Bass SQ-6B mids for the rear. My amp is a brand new MB Quart ONX4.60 4ch. I know its not much, but its a start! Also, when I go to set my gains, is it done the same way as a monoblock? Thanks for any help!! Current Setup: Sony CDX-7401UI 2- 12" Alpine TypeR DVC2ohm Subs Custom ported box 4-American Bass 6.5in SQ-6B Mids 4-Pioneer TS-T15 Tweeters 2-Crunch P1500.1 Mono Amps 2-runs 1/0 GA KnuKonceptz KnuKonceptz RCA's 1-Stinger SPV44 Battery Coming soon: 250 Amp Alt Custom Door Panels Second Skin Sound Deadner All in my 1986 Monte Carlo SS!!!

matt14 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 Set the high pass at 80hz. As far as gain goes a lot of different opinions. You can do it by ear, voltmeter, 3/4, scope, smd dd1. My suggestions would be o-scope or the smd dd1. But yea, same as a mono, just with a different tone. 2006 GMC YukonPioneer HU SHCA ran throughout Crescendo BC3500 One 18 AA Mayhem in a 4th order ZED Levithian 6 channel Rainbow Dual 6.5 comps ran Activehttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155628-matt14s-yukon-mayhem-in-a-4th-ordernew-amps-and-bats/page-3
6berry Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 the tone most people use is 1000hz to tune mids and highs. an o-scope or dd1 would be the right ways to do it but i doubt you have either of those tools. you can have a shop or a friend scope it for you or just turn it up til you can hear distortion then back off a little 1999 Audi A4 1.8T::: 4 - DC Level 3 10's in a 4th order Rockford P6002 on Subs for now (3-3.5k coming eventually) MB Quart ONX4.60 for Mids and Highs Boston S50 Components in Front Boston S65 Coaxials in Rear 40 Sq Ft of Second Skin Damplifier Build Thread UBL 1948 Plymouth
davewms9605 Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Posted July 22, 2011 Nope! No scope and dont know anyone with one!! So, set the hi pass at 80hz and use a tone of 1000hz to tune it like the sub is what u guys are saying? I just have access to a nice DMM my Dad has! Also, would my setup be ok? Has anyone heard this series of Cadence mids and highs? Thanks for all the help!!

jhmeg2 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 Heres my input... you have access to a ddm, use it. take the power your amp is rated at per channel, divided by its resistance per channel. so say it does 60 watts x4 @ 4 ohms. 60/4= 15. then the sq root of 15 / 1000. put in a disc that has pink noise, disconect the speaker leads, set dmm to AC, set volume on deck to 3/4. play disc attach dmm leads to speaker outputs of amp, turn gain untill you reach equation. so if your amp is 60x4 @ 4 ohms. 60/4= 15. sq root of 15 is 387298/1000= .00387298 (.0039) yeah also what he said, set ur hi pass to about 80hz. then do the same thing with your sub but instead of pink noise, use what ever freq that your sub is tuned to, or u could just use 50hz. whatever. hope this helps. if you need any more help let me knoe pm me or sumthin. peace ////Alpine, Eclipse, Load Boss, Pheonix Gold, MB Quart,Digital Desings, Memphis, Stinger, Periphial, MTX, Visualogic
