How To Use Active Crossovers

DSP unit is what you want.

I would run the tweeters high pass at around 8khz on channel 1 and 2. The pro mids high pass at around 70khz on channel 3 and 4.

I really hope you had a typo in this high pass the mids at 70khz lol

Anyway these tweets don't look like they want to play low at all which sucks but crossing at 8k means they are playing jack squat.

Even better the mids won't play all that high before they really start to break up.

Your transition point should be set around 4-5k for these drivers. I honestly don't think it'll sound great but hey it's pro audio most people just want the loudness.

Looking at the specs I'd say these should be ran as a 3-way but I digress.

For the mids 100-4000

Tweets 4000+

Just make sure your ears are working when you are setting gains and tuning. You are playing with their limits at these settings.

Also don't run rears. Imo they just complicate things

I recommended those as a safe starting point.

Oh crap I just re read . 70hz not 70k sorry.

SQ is kinda my goal. I just got the pros because I couldnt find any other mid rage drivers at the shops around me(they're pretty shitty)meaning all they had were coaxils and whole component sets and I figured if I order them might as well stick with RF. Imho, they sound better than the t2's I had.

Anyways, you think the best would be to get some 4" drivers too?

I would stick with two way for now until you learn how they act. IMO unless you know how to make them work you would end up far away from sound quality. You can't just throw stuff together and expect it to work together. If anything you should get new tweeters and mids that are better suited to what you are doing. At the very least you will need an rta and a big eq to make it work. Again imo

PPI has a nice looking set of 3 way components. I have not heard them myself but have seen a few people recommend them. This would give you a chance to hear a matched set with passive crossover so you would know how they are supposed to sound before going active. The Crossover has built in eq and attenuation as well as phase correction which means most of the hard work is already done for you. Going active without taking these into consideration is a step backwards for sq. Or just be happy with what you have, I'm sure it will do something.

Thanks for all the help guys, I appreciate it. I'm new to this sight and I'm already loving it lol

For starting out running active I would get your self some cheap mids and tweeters from parts express or somewhere . You mite even be surprised and just keep them . Iv spent 20-30 bucks on mids and tweeters together befor that sounded alot better than some components iv heard. .

Also dont run different speakers together on an amp
