MotorCityFats13 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 if your HU has crossovers/network mode then you are future proofed... but if not... and you run a 4ch and plan on going active make sure you get one with a 10x switch or you will need to add a 3 way x-over or a dsp later on down the road..... this might be pretty obvous but nobody mentioned this yet in this thread... Ill be trying this with my new pioneer 4800bs this spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07chevy Posted December 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I'm taking all this in. Talking about head units I am looking at a kenwood dpx501bt. After the two touch screens messing up I just want something simple. Not sure if this would be ideal. I'm game for whatever and am open to suggestions but honestly whatever my first set up is will probably be what I stick with. This is my personal daily work truck. I like a lot of y'all have plenty other hobbies coming out of my wallet. I do value the knowledge offered and figured out I may end up spending less than anticipated.

boom50cal Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 clarion cz702? it's active capable if you want to take that road... and that price range On 1/4/2013 at 9:31 PM, HatersGonnaHate said: Wow. 184 posts and I think you're a fucking asshole.

07chevy Posted December 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Anything double din? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarter1885 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 No double din active h/u's that I know off. Running active is choosing your crossover points instead of letting the passive crossovers do the work. Basicially your sub is already ran active if you are using a ported enclosure, it has a bandpass network. Two frequency cut off points, HPF (or SSF, sub sonic filter) and LPF. You can change your crossover points and slope to customize the sound you want instead of using set points on the crossover frequency. Your mids will have a bandpass crossover setup like your sub for example: HPF 63hz at 24db with an LPF of 2500hz at 24db. Basically your mids will play from 63hz-2500hz, instead of letting them naturally roll-off on their own. Your tweeters will only have a HPF since they can naturally roll-off without complications. That is the dumb down version, you also have time alignment features to adjust (i still don't have a big grasp on that).

reedal Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 you also have time alignment features to adjust (i still don't have a big grasp on that). That's adjusting the output level of the speaker/tweeter so all sound reaches you at the same time (assuming electrical T/A using a processor or HU with a built in processor). Perfectly set up, you won't hear a difference between the sound coming from the tweeters and mid-range, and you won't feel as if a single side (typically the speakers closest to you) is louder than the other side. Everything will sound completely in sync.

MotorCityFats13 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 there are a couple DD units that handle active.... and unless I was told wrong the 4800bs pioneer I just bought does network mode and the front channels can be crossed over at a high khz ... kenwood has some too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They allow you to choose a starting frequency and slope but you cant do a bandpass crossover network. Nothing like the Pioneer 80PRS.
