xdrixn Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 hey guys, I'm wondering if the gains on tweeters are set properly if I set my crossovers below 1k to use the dd1 but when playing music I have them at 10k? 4 way with a dead head. thank you gentleman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmallTruk Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Why is the crossover set to 10k? Why aren't you setting the amp with it full range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdrixn Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 my tweets (a-pillar) are set at 10k as are my 3 in midranges (kickpanel) because that's how I think it sounds best. I thought I was setting it "full range" per instructions 'Setting the gain of a full range amplifier' in the manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanSierra Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Most tweets run 3.5k(some lower)and above.....you're losing output and have a BIG gap where you're not hearing things you should be.

Since said midranges are in my kick panels the 3k-10k range isn't so close to my face, hence, not so harsh. I'm still hearing those frequencies.

kickass audio Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Thats very high for a midrange to play. I have 80Hz to 4000k playing through my mids and highpass at 4000k for the highs. Also you dont want the tweeters set with the dd-1 at the full gain position the dd-1 will show no distortion at. The tweeters will be overpowered most of the time unless you are using a small amp for your speakers but if you are using a large amp like i am for the mids and highs you will want to set the gain for the tweeters with the dd-1 first then play a song with a ton of treble to it and turn the gain down until the tweeters stop making like a hissing noise when cymbals are struck or anything high frequency like that. But your x-overs are setup completely wrong thats for sure.

liljestrand Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 You guys don't seem to read very well. He's running a 4 way set up. Which means most likely he has sub-midbass-midrange-tweeter. Really don't know why that was so hard to comprehend. Op I'd just set it at the 1k and if they scream at you turn it down to a level you like.

kickass audio Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 even for a midrange that still seems high but whatever.
