you do not need a dedicated digital processor for sq that is just plain wrong!!! it just makes life so much easier

quality speakers is a loaded statement who defines what quality is? you need a good wide frequency response with out break up from a speaker that's all in the specs.

My wifes car has less the 200 paid for all her mids and highs and after hours of tunning and on the RTA i will put it against 90% of all the vehicles on this site.

I'm going to leave now thinking of all the wrong in this thread is making my head hurt

without a processor how do you deal with time alignment, phase issues, crossover points, etc?

Time alignment, cable length.

Phase issues, circuit in total.

Corssover, just build one.

Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . .

What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself

but what has drawn your attention

in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums

An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space

Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears,

thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

so run a passive system is pretty much what you are saying. and to build a high quality passive crossover with 12db per octave for 200 watts can get pretty expensive. i built a pair for 150. my processor can cross up to 48 db/octave.

and you are really going to make your speaker wire longer than it has to be?

doesnt make sense in any manor really.

It doesn't matter if it makes sense, that's how it used to be done.

Yes a DSP either in your HU or a separate one make things so much unbelievably easier, cheaper and some even better.

That is just how you would do it without one.

lol the same way they did it before DSP were available. to think that sq has only been around as long as DSP is funny

you can do everything via ANALOG time alignment would be controlled by channel gains and balance

crossover points gee i dunno maybe with a cross over

there have almost allways been Equalizers to dial in the frequencies

if you like to 180 phase out your mids lets say you just put the negative on the postive post of the speaker and postive on the neg bam! your 180 phase is done

any other questions?

Have you ever had your woofers blown?

Im running the Kenwood Exelon DNX9980HD with no problems whatsoever.

Randal are you running anything between the HU and your amps?
I have a LP XO2 on my midbass drivers to cut off the top end around 240 htz, but other than that ... No

Head unit takes care of everything else.

I sometimes get stuck back in the home audio world were there would already be massive amounts of wire used so it would be easier to do that than build an analog circuit for it.
