Rabbit Posted October 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Cableguy won't lead you wrong! Also, just a friendly FYI, if you are using the bi-amp inputs on the passive crossover then you are still passive Thanks for all the comments you guys Also MrskippyJ in the manual off the website i seen for the T5's it says when doing bi-amp to remove the fuses from the crossover. Even with the fuses removed it'll still be passive? Isn't the whole point of bi-amping is to go active? Kinda confused there lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Going active means the crossover uses a separate power source (in car audio it's 12v from the battery) over passive which uses power from the already amplified signal. The bi-amp feature gives you more control by separating the inputs for the mid and tweeter but still passively filters frequencies.

I only mentioned that you were setting OP up for more of a SQ thing because of the whole amp topic thing. Going with A/B and why to go with that. If he's doing a SPL/SQ mix type thing, wouldn't think that he'd need that type of amp... for subs. I have DD W6.5's and T2 tweeters, loud and clean and clear. (Need a processor but as you know, expensive). Now is that SQ? Without a doubt, no. There's way better SQ type stuff out there. But, comparing it to what I had, it is. And as I mentioned, everyone else who's heard it, definitely thinks it's near SQ and couldn't be cleaner and all. (I disagree but I let them think that haha). They love the bass, they love the mids and highs (except they think lil over powering but that's what I personally wanted). Last time I got metered (before the DD's), was at 138. So not quiet, but again, no monster beast either. Just how I want... and that's with a DC 175.4 amp and rf 1500bdcp amp. Sheena = pedobear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Lightning Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 My apologies Sir ... If you think I was talking down on ANY products ... Please let me assure you, I'm not in ANY way ... I really like everything mentioned in the first post ... I was just comparing apples to oranges with the price lisings and the type of Sound I was assuming the op wanted out of his vehicle ... and nothing more ... Like I said ... Then again ... all of this is just my suggestion sirIf I stepped on ANY toes, It was not my intention ... again, My apologies ... This is one of the reasons why I NEVER recommend products unless they are products from my sponsors ...

WastedTalent Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 ...I never saw you step on anyone's toes or talk down any product. I was just stating why I thought you were leading him more to the SQ world. That's all. Lol. No need to apologize in this thread as I see no bashing/downing/whatnot on anyone or anything.

The bi-amp feature gives you more control by separating the inputs for the mid and tweeter but still passively filters frequencies. Ah yes! I just looked again at the manual and the T5's come with a RF link connetion almost like connecting a bass control knob. It says too connect to ground and 12V source. So with that connected to 12V and fuses removed it should be active? Also again thanks for all the comments you guys and suggestions. Glad i signed up for this forums. Can't wait to start to start getting all my parts and etc cause i want to do a build log kinda aha. Getting my truck cleaned and filled up with sound deadner will be a blast, and getting all the cables and etc ran properly. I think it'll be a good build log.

MrSkippyJ Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 I'm going to be honest, I don't know anything about the T5s so I can't answer that for you sorry.

Rabbit Posted October 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 I'm going to be honest, I don't know anything about the T5s so I can't answer that for you sorry. This is the manual. Hopefully it shows up the right page. If not just click the manual, it's PDF file. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/support/rftech.aspx?kbsrc=http://rftech.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/rftech.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1036&p_li=&p_topview=1#knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
