tbeats Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 On the sundown sa cs6.5v2 crossover it has for the tweeter +0db, -3db and +3db when using the dd1 to set gain on a rockford p300x2 should I do the tweeter on +0db? I ask because as of right now I'm set to +3db and at max volume set all with the dd1 my tweeterson will cut out dew to protect circuit.

3vil Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 That's for attenuation of the tweeter, it allows you to modify the tweeter output in case they at to sharp or making a little. I'd stay with it at 0dB. I feel like you should be hooking the dd1 on the amp output before the crossover when checking for distortion, but I might be wrong.

I'm basically I guess looking at if I'm setting my gain at -5db on the amp then having the tweeter on +3db it's stressing the tweeter over power? And robbing mid bass performance from the woofer.

ShadeTreeMechanic Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 If your tweeters are cutting out then you are kicking their butt. The dd1 is just a reference. Different songs can be recorded at different levels and different sources can have a different level too. Ultimately it is up to the operator of the volume control.

ShadeTreeMechanic Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Well, that tweeter attenuation is to balance the sound between the tweeter and mid. Not necessarily to keep the tweeter alive.

ShadeTreeMechanic Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 If you want to be louder, you could add another set of tweets and mids.

Just trying to maximize what I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
