Kade Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I'm currently running 2 pairs of hifonics ZRX6.5C (its a component set. 75-16k Hz with an inline crossover at 3.5khz.) running on a hifonics ZRX600.4 amp. I'm wondering if my SQ would improve if I added more speakers. If so, how would I do that with the type of crossover I have and what would I implement in my system? My thought came from a 3-way speaker, except having the tweeter, mid and woofer separated. I'm trying to hear more vocals and guitars in my mix.

ALPINE408 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 You don't aadd speakers for sq you want it louder that's not sq Quote Have you ever had your woofers blown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 For starters buy a decent component set either 2 or 3 way and decent amp if possible. Do some reading up on setting up an sq system to get insight, there are alot of info available online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Davis Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 You don't aadd speakers for sq you want it louder that's not sq Agreed if you place more of the same ranges your going to hear the same thing louder. I would for sure recommend 3 way comps splitting the frequencies should help you define them alittle more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kade Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I think that's what I was trying to ask, Chris Davis. Is it possible to add on a different driver in my current component set and will that improve my sound quality(with using a crossover of course)?

Ddub847 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 adding a driver wont help your other speakers sound better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kade Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I just realized that I'm misusing SQ. I'm thinking about definition of individual instruments rather than how good they sound.

ALPINE408 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Again you want it louder yes add speakers will make it louder If you want instrumments to sound better that's all in the tunning or how you crossover the speakers best way to do this ditch the passive Xovers and go full active Quote Have you ever had your woofers blown?

Kade Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I don't want it louder. I want it more defined. Like speakers handling a specific range of frequencies.
