Herokight Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 How do you set one up? I mean, I'm trying to do a fully active crossover setup with the tweeters running off a separate amp. Is there any way of keeping each set of speakers from "overlapping" each other? Basically limiting them only to certain frequencies. Like 20-80hz for subs, 80-200hz for midbass, 200-~2000hz for mids, and then ~2000hz or up for tweets? I've always been curious about this.

You hear that????That's a category 5 shit storm coming n8: hey you doing today. What's it like being a bitch? you can pm me if you'd like to explain why you arent one.

White Lightning Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Simple ... get you a external active crossover, or a bad ass headunit with High pass, band pass, low pass, and subwoofer pass selection capabilities ... and BTW, who told you that "overlapping" frequiencies was a bad thing ??

No one told me that. I just thought it was. My current build used to be really peaky around 100hz until I put an 80hz high pass on my components and an 80hz low pass on my subs, so that's one reason. I can admit that I'm probably mistaken though. Quote Lane AKA HeroKight '96 Jeep Cherokee Classic 4x4 R.I.P. Molliboo $200 for new tires, on a jeep!?

Autruche Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) Buy a good head unit that has a built in active crossover. It can be difficult to find one that will support a 3 way active front stage though, so I suggest running your midrange and midbass together and use your amp's high pass/low pass filters to seperate them. The only pain with that is that most 2 or 4 channel amps have shit crossovers on them, that won't allow you to set the LPF higher than 150-250Hz. Here's how I have mine set up: Head unit: Sub: LPF - 63Hz Mids: HPF - 63Hz - LPF - 3.15kHz (midbass and midrange both receive signal from this output) Highs: HPF - 3.15kHz Amps: Sub: No LPF, SSF Off (set to 7Hz below box tuning, or to about 25Hz for most people) Midbass: No HPF, LPF - 315Hz Midrange: HPF - 315Hz, No LPF Tweeter: No filters Edited May 28, 2012 by Autruche Quote Need Test Tones/Sine Waves?

Kyblack76 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) some good info,.... but, i myself like to "over lap" where i can,... i also run different on my slopes,... 12db or 24db.... i mix and match my slopes, to, well,... have a slope, on some of the freq's i want to,..... and not just a direct cut or drop off.....and prefer band passing anywhere you can... i band pass every one of my speakers... but, im usually doing things all flip flop...only worried about my ear though...lol Edited May 28, 2012 by KyLar96 Quote SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
