VDub916 Posted May 22, 2016 Report Posted May 22, 2016 pioneer avh-x5700bhs Infinity kappa 6.5 components RF punch 400.4 I was originally running passive with two sets of components on my 4 channel. Sounded crystal clear. While my car was apart, I decided to remove my rear components and go active with my fronts. My headunit has an active feature with EQ, time alignment, crossovers and individual speaker level adjustment. Mids high passed at 80hz, Mids low passed at 3.5Khz Tweeters low passed at 3.5Khz All slopes are -12db My mids and highs sound like AM radio. What would be a good starting point for the crossovers? I have a set of fosgate T2 components on the way and wanted to get some experience going active before I installed my new speakers. Thank you for the help.
mrd6 Posted May 22, 2016 Report Posted May 22, 2016 Well...if your mids are actually "low passed at 80hz" and "high passed at 3.5k" then thats why you are getting no performance. You have it backwards. Your mids should be high passed at 80hz and low passed at 3.5k. My Build Log: http://www.stevemead...-sundown-power/ Team NorthWestSPL
VDub916 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Report Posted May 22, 2016 Yes my mistake, they are currently high passed at 80 and low passed at 3.5k. I'll correct the post
ToNasty Posted May 22, 2016 Report Posted May 22, 2016 Also says your tweets are low passed. They should be high passed ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers
VDub916 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Report Posted May 22, 2016 Sorry guys, I'm all backwards. The tweeters are high passed. That is the only option on the headunit
ToNasty Posted May 22, 2016 Report Posted May 22, 2016 Is the amp set on full? ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers
VDub916 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Report Posted May 22, 2016 Yes the amps are set to all pass. EQ is flat and no bass boost. Is this headunit a bad substitution for a DSP?
DTS909 Posted May 22, 2016 Report Posted May 22, 2016 Start bring down your eq settings one at a time more in the middle and right side.

Jessica Posted May 22, 2016 Report Posted May 22, 2016 Double check wiring, did you reverse polarity a speaker? Also, you aren't using the passive crossovers still are you?

VDub916 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Report Posted May 22, 2016 Bringing down the middle and right sides made it sound worse, only muddy mid range. No more passive crossovers. Thought I would clean up wiring by getting rid of them but it seems like it's causing more trouble than it's worth. I did double check polarity and even reversed it just to hear the difference. All is correct. Maybe the pioneers active feature doesn't sound so great?
