jk13 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 I guess I am lost. I have the same thoughts about my 4 channel amp and component set. I have the front set on two channels and some rear speakers that I don't care about either. So I guess my question is do you eliminate the passive crossover and wire the tweets to say channels 3&4 and the mids to 1&2? Then use the crossover on the amp to control the crossover points? You can do that if you're crossovers get to the correct points (usually around 3-3.5k for tweeters) but the OP has bi-ampable crossovers with two sets of inputs. Remember that some higher end passive crossovers will do more than just frequency distribution. Some will use different slopes for phase compensation, level differentials, and possibly even some EQing built in. So until the OP gets the 360.3 he may be better keeping the passives. Also, if you're leaving the woofer channels on all-pass, what is keeping the sub frequencies out of them? Static drops are my bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turboelky Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Sorry for the thread Jack. It makes it confusing so I will kindly back out. Sorry. I'm not concerned with that bro. If you get the answers you need in this post, no need to start another. I'm not jealous! LOL!! There is so many settings to deal with, I guess its confusing at times. I have the HPF and LPF off on my head unit. I have the levels all at 0. But I have an active EQ an Alpine G180 so that helps a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You talking about once of those bigass house cats? Oh, I didn't see the pre order, thanks! I'll have to look at pricing. And since I have the bi-amp crossovers, I MUST use them!!! Its in my head right now lol. And the cat isn't full grown. He's just under 2 years old, but he's a crazy MOFO! But probably is the cat your thinking of, they do get pretty big, very muscular.

Smoove Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 I agree use the bi-amp feature. Just make sure on that amp you turn the gain down on the tweets to start. I am hoping the AMM-1 is still that price at tax return time. Savannah ?? <-- not sure I spelled it right olssoundguy, I am running passive the same way you are. And my amp is set to full pass, I set the bass cutoff using my Alpine HU so I don't completly have to rely on the crossover. I am not sure if your Alpine has the same feature. 2 Team Fi 15's v1 2 DD M5's 970amps of Alt 6th order blowthroughThe truck Blowthrough build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155555-smooves-1996-chevy-ext-cab-c1500-slow-build/The 350z build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/170694-smooves-2003-nissan-350z/ My FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smooves-Car-Audio-and-performance/719746144805343 Team Fi Audio http://www.ficaraudio.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turboelky Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Savannah cats are a different breed. Its a breed of domesticated siamese cat with a Serval. African wild cat. Bengals are a breed of a wild Asian Leopard cat and domesticated cat. Both are really cool cats. Both very active, and prone to wanting to hunt everything that moves. lol.

Hey man, cats are bad ass if you think about it. If your cat was 100lbs, he would probably try to eat you in your sleep. Its like having a mini lion in the house… If you have a pic of the cat paw and don't mind, shoot me an email of it!! [email protected] sounds crazy.
