EBW Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) Are running any "in line" xovers? If your powering components with xovers like my bostons the you can run it fp or fullpass cause the xovers will kill any freqs the driver isn't designed for Edited August 8, 2011 by EBW Quote Kenwood KIV-BT900 Front Stage RF 400-4 Runs off dedicated 4 awg ofc RE 6.5 125.5.

nickgallegos Posted August 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Yeah just didn't know it as "in line"....tomorrow I got to figure out where to mount that crossover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBW Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 If your running components or 6x9 on cross overs you can just turn you ferqs settings all the way up let the crossovers do their job as for gains if your HU RCAs puts out 4,5,6v then you gains should be fairly low due to I high input signal but Alpine makes some good stuff so you should be ok as for xover location I mounted mine in the door with the speakers just forward of the window track with the thick double sided foam tape just be sure you clean both the crossover and mounting location with isp alcohol first for a good bond and mount the where the heat from the summers sun doesn't make gravity/vibration work against you trust me last thing you want to do is tear panels off again cause your electronics are bumbling around Quote Kenwood KIV-BT900 Front Stage RF 400-4 Runs off dedicated 4 awg ofc RE 6.5 125.5.

nauc Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 i use the xovers on my deck Quote Alpine 9887, Oz 180CS, RF R500X1D, 12" RE SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranny Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) But what should the HP filter that is built in to my Pioneer deck be set at? 80hz is the general rule.

EBW Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) He's using crossovers provided with the components which cut out any freqs the drivers are not ment for I know mine do reguardless of input signal and its better to start people in the right direction than to vomit information so the get confused or discouraged plus his HU set up won't let any lower freqs out so bottoming out is not a factor but distortion on the other hand is all in the HU volume max and amp gain settings, wasn't tryin to overload the guy but I'm sure he will be alright as long as he uses his crossovers and keeps the gains at a respectable level *I stand corrected my crossovers freq rang is 55hz to 20khz so they do cut out the low bass but not all the bass Edited August 9, 2011 by EBW Quote Kenwood KIV-BT900 Front Stage RF 400-4 Runs off dedicated 4 awg ofc RE 6.5 125.5.

If you set the xover on the HU the ones on the amp can be all the way up and its only going to play the frequency the HU sends how does this make sense? why would you want the crossover frequency to be all the way up on the amp? depending on the amp, it will cut off a good usable chunk of the response band and make your speakers sound like shit because there will be no midrange.

EBW Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Humm that's odd cause he understood an amp only amplifys the input signal if his head unit is set to send a signal from 80-20k it doesn't matter how low the lp filter is set on the amp will never produce a note lower than 80hz or higher than 20khz Quote Kenwood KIV-BT900 Front Stage RF 400-4 Runs off dedicated 4 awg ofc RE 6.5 125.5.
