Cj Kumz Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 Hey guys. I have a few midrange questions 1. How many speakers and tweeters are needed for and average setup. (I know its too general lol but like for a 145db car) 2. Is it necassary to have midrange in the backdoors? 3. What are the best type of tweeters to get(bullet, dome, etc...) 4. What are the best type of mids(1way, 2way, 3way, etc...) 5. What are the xover settings for the mids( was thinking 100-2000 mids and above 2000 highs) Thanks Vw Polo Pioneer Deh-6050UB Sundown Saz-3500d DD Audio 9500 15'' 5.5 cubic feet box with 10 inch port @ 38hz I live to hear the Bass drop!!!
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 Most of your questions are going to come down to the application and personal preference. I'll answer #1 for you though. In most situations 1 mid and 1 tweeter is plenty. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
Jeffdachef Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 In an average setup with no extra fiberglass door panels and such, you want quality over quantity. You'll need high sensitivity drivers AKA "pro audio drivers". These get louder than normal 2 way 3 way stuff you see on the market. Check out crescendo pwx, soundqubed pro 6.5, seleniums, sundown neo pro, beyma, eminence betas etc.. they have super tweeters to go along with it if you like your highs really strong and bright, if you like the highs to be a little bit more toned down, you can buy any set of soft dome silk tweeters. You'll need a proper active capable amp with band pass capable crossovers. Crossover points for each system will be different because of the car environment and how you mount your speakers and of course, your own listening preferences, you just need to spend a few hours to play with it and get the sweet spot.

MrSkippyJ Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 You certainly don't need pro audio or active capability at all. A quality set of regular components will do just fine.

Cj Kumz Posted March 16, 2015 Author Report Posted March 16, 2015 1 more question. There some 4 channel amps I have come across that just have a gain and a lpf,full,hpf setting. On such types of amps where exactly is the xover point when set on lpf or hpf?

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 If going active you are going to need something with adjustable crossover points whether that be an active capable head unit, a processor, or active capable amps.

Cj Kumz Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Posted March 17, 2015 Ok so for example if I set hpf at the headunit at say 100hz this means I can leave the amp on 'full' instead of 'hpf' right? But then issue now will be all upper frequencies will go both to components and tweeters. I'm I on the right track lol ?

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 You need to bandpass the mid's and high pass the tweets. But yes if using the headunit to do so you leave the amps on full. It's also smart to put caps on your tweeters just in case.
