ROLEXrifleman Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Red is factory where I will be putting a set of speakers. I'm torn between using a set of 5.25 that I already have open and used (boston pro's) Opening a NIB set of 6.5's that I have in the basement (boston pro's) or reusing the set of 6.5's that I found in the car when I took it apart. Infinity 6020's where already there: OK, that's the red circles. The green circles are where I'm thinking of putting a 4" (in the pocket) and another tweet. Do you guys think that would make a huge difference of not one worth the effort? Any thoughts on the ideas in general? TIA Rolex you sicken me.

White Lightning Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 If you can use the sail panels "On Axis" to your advantage ... I'd say use only one pair of tweeters in the sail panels ... Then see if you need to upgrade your midbass ...

michigancapri92 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 considering that i got 4th place my first year at meca world finals with a 2-way passive set .... i am a believer of 2-way, easier to set up.

OrionStang Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Depends on a few things (power handling for me) For example, i'd like a 3-way setup, but the Hertz 3" mids can only handle 50w rms, while the tweets can take 150, and the 6.5s can take 200+. It becomes a huge ordeal. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Bassick - Kimo Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 2-way is always going to be easier to set up over a 3-way. However, the enjoyment out of a 3-way is worth the extra time in my opinion. In your application I would stick with a 2-way just to keep it simple. I would recommend moving the tweeters to the sails and put them on axis. This should give you better height on your staging. You will probably be pillar to pillar for width and lacking in depth but, over all sound should be rather good.

Kyblack76 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 man... id love to hear opinions on this... Me? you have say a 6.5 and a 1" tweet. Does that say 3 inch REALLY do much? Im always lookin for a deeper mid bass/ mid range.... Maybe if i had one that would play that low, the 3" would THEN be a factor......

OrionStang Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Kyle, an easy way to think of it is this. The more drivers you have, the less frequency range each one needs to handle. Makes each one cleaner in that narrower band. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROLEXrifleman Posted January 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 From a power handling standpoint the Boston pros will hang in there with a rated power input of 20-300 watts if I use t he supplied x-over units The other thing to consider is If i go 3 way and use the infinities I would go active on those and use the 4" Boston set with it's passive. I would cross the Boston 4" over at 350-450 then go active on the 6.5 being bandpass at 100 - 450 and that tweeter at 3.5K all with a 12 db slope. Like I said, still thinking it all through.
