Sa 6.5cs v2 component hpf setting?

[tbeats]

With the sa 6.5cs v2 component's how low can I safety set my hpf? My subs lpf is at 63hz 24db slope. Would hpf with the same settings be safe? I'm getting around probably 150 to 160 watts per side running the sundown passive crossovers also.

They can easily play down to 20hz, iirc they were tested for 8hours at 100watts playing pink noise all the way down to 20hz, but since your running more then rated power to them, I would set it around 60-70hz with a 12db slope since your running more than rated power, but Id make sure to keep it clean power. Test it out with the sub stage off and if you hear any distortion of any kind turn it up slightly more.

Weren't you using infinity tweeters in addition to the Sundown components, and had issues with tweeters cutting out due to the tweeter protection kicking in?

I would sure hope those other tweeters are not being ran off the same amp or the sundown passive crossovers because changing the ohm load of the speakers by adding more speakers to the passive crossover network will change the crossover frequency of the passive crossovers and could easily damage the speakers.

no this set up is in a different vehicle now on a different amp kicker zx350.2 does 110 watts at 4ohm per channel.

When I used the head unit hpf set at 50hz with a 6db slope I don't have no where near the output is have if I'm running full range. At 63hz with even a 6db slope I have almost no mid bass the 6.5 is hardly moving.

If you are using the amp to power the mids and tweets, why use the deck's crossover? 6 db slope is crap. The Kicker amp has a built in 12db slope crossover.

Just theorizing at this point, but what it sounds like is happening, is that the output of the deck, once the crossover is engaged, actually lowers the RCA level output voltage because the signal is now going through a filter. To verify, you could hook up a scope or DMM on AC volts and compare the outputs with the same source playing a sine wave in the frequency range that is missing, like around 70-80 hz.
