Bigsix Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Ok...that will at least put me in the ballpark, thanks Orion... I do know that my 8's were recomended to be cut off at 50hz... so thats a start and I can tweak it from there.. Im not a total sq nut, just want it to play right and sound decent while its full tilt Quote 1999 Lincoln Town Car-(build underway) - (2) SA15s, 4th order, DAT 2500.1, O2 mids n highs, 250a alt, HC 2400, Big 3.... 1994 Pontiac T/A for speeding tickets.- - Currently on jack stands, wanting to be a real race car "Your local forecast, all the ladies in the metro area should expect to see 8 inches tonight" - The Todd Decaf, on 01 November 2011 - 02:38 PM, said: i provide the ammo for destruction, the trigger finger is connected to the volume knob tho URBAN GORILLA AUDIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Shit, I forgot they are 8's. I would say 50 and 250. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsix Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Since I've got your attention Orion, On the 4ch Ill be running the mids and tweets off of, set ch1 and 2 to high pass for tweets? set ch. 3 and 4 to high pass for the mid as well would full pass be more appropriate? and then the 2ch amp for the 8's, low pass or full? I can also control the front RCA high pass freq as well, I can go 50,60,80,100,120hz off the HU (Guessing I should set that at what ever I set the 8's to cut off at? 50hz?)... Sorry if some of this is noobish man, fisrt time Ive dont a system that Ive had this much control over everything....kinda mind numbing at times, especially when a handful of vics are kickin in on ym F'ed up knee... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Quote 1999 Lincoln Town Car-(build underway) - (2) SA15s, 4th order, DAT 2500.1, O2 mids n highs, 250a alt, HC 2400, Big 3.... 1994 Pontiac T/A for speeding tickets.- - Currently on jack stands, wanting to be a real race car "Your local forecast, all the ladies in the metro area should expect to see 8 inches tonight" - The Todd Decaf, on 01 November 2011 - 02:38 PM, said: i provide the ammo for destruction, the trigger finger is connected to the volume knob tho URBAN GORILLA AUDIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 This is where you need the amps you are using to have the crossover freq options you need. The tweets on hp for sure, the mids can be set on hp as well, but it would be ideal to bandpass them (cut them off where the tweeter takes over, otherwise, whats the point of the tweeter?). The way you are thinking for the 8's is fine. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert8252 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Cheapest is either a kick ads digital processor or a head unit like mentioned above. But there are cheaper options out there. Amps with the xovers you need aren't cheap. There may be a audison 4ch on diyma. Guy has been trying to sell it for a long time but no one has bought it yet. It's the lrx 4.5 I think. 75rmsx4 at 4ohm. All the xovers you need I think for two parts of your stage.

KenC210 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I am in the same situation as you... interested in what you have planned... what i am going to do is the 2 amp setup for mids and highs. 2ch for the low mids on 8" crossed at 60hz-300. i currently have a zx650.4 kicker and will be trying to sell that to get an audioque amp 120.4 which has the bandpass feature for all four channels that will be controlling my 6.5 mids and tweeters. the 6.5 mids i will bandpass them from 300hz-5000hz and the tweets hpf at 5000hz... thats my plan any ways Quote Kids Cadi Power Wheel Build2007 Ford Escape Build2012 Toyota Corolla Build 2013 Toyota Tundra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlan Thr Smth Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Personally I would pickup an Alpine 9887 or an MS8 which both can be had for a fairly low price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
