Leiderlife Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 So in the manual for my type r components it shows a wiring diagram. On this diagram it shows the speaker wires that come from the amp go directly to the midwoofer. There are dual connections on the woofer and from there they lead to the crossover and then to the tweeter. I am kind of confused. I have always seen the amp go directly to the crossover and then to the woofer and tweeter. Does this mean that the woofer is active? Sorry if this is a noob question.

Mike4068 Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 That's a full range component set. The full signal is sent to the woofer and the the crossover filters the lows for the tweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leiderlife Posted November 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 So what do I set the crossover on the amp to if they aren’t separate? Does it wind up playing high frequency through the woofer too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike4068 Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 The woofer relies on it's own dampening to filter out the highs. Set it to high pass and go an octave or 2 above the woofer fs, or you can try 80hz if your slope is steep enough and you aren't sending it too much power.

Leiderlife Posted December 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Ok, after some research I discovered that the woofer has its own crossover built in. What I don’t like is that the woofer acts as the junction that the tweeters come off of. This means you have to run 2 sets of wires into the doors. That seems stupid when most other sets split at the crossover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CstrokerV Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 Just looked at them you run one set of wire from the amp to the mids then run the wire to the xover Input for the tweeter from the mid, then the output of the xover to the tweeter my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbrassard Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 There is probably a video on the installation of these speakers out there! Basically its a coax with the tweeter separate. RF's Punch line does the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
