pro audio mids

[LsChevy]

i want to give pro audio speakers a try in my build since im going to be running a eq, hopefully i can tune them to my liking. What are to good ones to go with thats under $140. i dont know if i want two 6.5's or a 6.5 and a 8" in the front doors

If you're going to run active, a 6.5 and a 8 in each door would be good. 8 for mid bass and 6.5 for regular mid level frequencies

Do you plane to run active or passive

Or a mix of both,

The easiest is a mix of both, then you can use a 4ch amp v's needing a 6ch just for door if doin a 3 way

I've done some with 3 ways doors +sub

I set h/u at high pass 80hz to front,

Split the rca's to all 4ch's so both have a highpass 80hz input then the 8" mids I lowpass on amp or eq if you have, so as it's now bandpassed, then I high pass the component set to same Hz ie. 320hz.

That way you get good mids and use you component passive crosover to do upper mid and highs

[LsChevy]

I don't have enough experience to run active and I'm not using a head unit. I bought a tablet to take the place of that. That's why I almost have to use a eq.

[reedal]

What passive crossovers are you using that offer an 8 & 6.5 option?

[SIDE SHOW]

I'd go 5 1/4 for midrange and 8" for midbass dutys

What you guys think of the fosgate punch pro's

[john253a]

You can use the ppx4

As runs a pass through tweeter using 2x 4ohm either 8" or 6" mids will give you 2ohm load

But your restricted to 125rms total with that set up as the crossovers don't like more power then that,

It is designed for a p300.2 for the pp4x or 400.2 for the pp8x

You could just get a punch pro 8" 4ohm

Run a t1 or p series component

Use you eq to hi pass the output at around 80-100hz unless it has a bandpass option

Set your amp to lowpass on mids and set to around 300-350hz or if amp only goes to 250 set to that and lattet buy a lowpass 300-350 filter

8" taken care off

Because you have already high passed you the supply nothing below 80-100 will be sent just set amp highpass on comp set to same setting unless you eq is capable of doing everything

To make it easy what eq do you have

I'll be getting the clarion eq746

any particular reason you are considering running 2 different sizes?
