aculous Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 So I have a 3way front stage that I am trying to hook up to a Pioneer 80PRS. I was thinking that I could run (1) 4 channel amp and run my mids off my headunit (for power). Not sure I can do this. It has a NW1, NW2, NW3 which allows me to set the crossover frequency for each NW independently which I am guessing is crossover "network". But the issue is ok great so I split the frequency 3 ways and then its outputed to my amp which I am running in passthrough mode I would guess but it would split the freq 3 ways for each channel...which would mean instead of splitting the freq for each speaker it would split it three ways for each speaker... I am so confused. Noob to 3way setups. I have run 2way components (passive) in the past so help would be awesome. ...I am prepared to offer $1 to victor of this challenge.

aculous Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Posted August 27, 2014 network will only do 3 way active... none network wont control the way you want.. you where told wrong 3way active is what I am going for really, just don't know how to wire it I suppose since I wanted my amps to push power but not cut frequency if that makes sense. Other issue I think I am having a hard time explaining this as well. How would someone typically do a three way setup?

Kyblack76 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 3 way one control for tweets (high) one control for mids (mid) one control for subs (low) EDIT - NETWORK comes off the RCA SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold
aculous Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Posted August 27, 2014 Alright understood. ( I know this is frustrating I am trying to not be a dumbass about this but I am having a hard time understanding what is going on) But why is there a seperate SUB crossover freq along with the Hi/Mid/Low? I guess what I was thinking would be a 3way setup is actually more like a 4way. So really if I run the HU in 2way mode, hook up the tweets and mids to one amp and then I can run the crossover of a second amp with what the Midbass drivers actually need.
OrionStang Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 To further clarify, you cannot run a 3-way front stage AND a subwoofer with this headunit. Just run it like Kyle listed; tweets, mids, subs. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
Jessica Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 if you want to run 3 way up front with subs off this unit you are going to need a paragraph and a half for us to explain it, right now you cant even set the sub crossover. take a deep breath, read the manual, watch some youtube videos, and play with the menus for about 3 days. then learn how to do reset and start over so you dont have some setting screwed up while you were learning, Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

Thats not the issue. Like Kyle and Orion are saying and I am understanding is that basically I am trying to get the HU to do something that it can't. When I saw that the HU had a 2way and 3way crossover as well as a sub out, my thought was that I could run a 3way + sub setup. Now I am seeing that that is not the way it was designed so I need to figure out a better way to do it. nuff said. Appreciate the help guys, Talked to ToNasty too and I am probably just going to run either a 4 channel and a 2 channel or two 4 channel amps and set the crossover frequency at the amp. I think this will solve my issue. I just need to play with how I am going to do eq and ta then.
