CUT BUDDY Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 In a "active" 3way staging setup. Are coaxials ok to use as midrange/vocals? Quote TEAM MechMan Alternators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUT BUDDY Posted May 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 (edited) Im trying to piece together my own active 3way using a AudioControl DQXS electronic eq/processor (top of the line sh%t). It has outputs for Sub, Midbass, midrange/front lowpass, and front highpass. My question is are coaxial speakers ok to use as a midrange? the midrange area of a setup is were your vocals, some piano notes and snares come from. anywhere between 300Hz-2000Hz (maybe a lil higher in the frequency range).

Stephen Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 why not just get a mid? i think that kinda defeats the purpose of going active Quote you can cook bacon shirtless if you're not a pussy...lol not hatin, but am i wrong here it looks as if the amp is not grounded its hooked directly to the battery. it that the way it should be.

Stephen Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 these were the ones i bought when i was was thinking of going active http://mach5audio.com/zen/index.php?main_p...products_id=183 not very expensive at all, or maybe the dayton 180 http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=295-374 Quote you can cook bacon shirtless if you're not a pussy...lol not hatin, but am i wrong here it looks as if the amp is not grounded its hooked directly to the battery. it that the way it should be.

CUT BUDDY Posted May 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 those mach 5's (6.5") look good. May be an option for midbass but the thread is about small midranges. I need some good 4" or 3.5" midranges which is why I was looking at coaxials. Anything like a 6.5" or 8", I would use strictly for a midbass 80Hz-300Hz.

CUT BUDDY Posted May 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 what about these for midrange http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=295-358 Quote TEAM MechMan Alternators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptcary Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) I would avoid a coax and stick with a true midrange, if 3.5" is what you want, take a look at these Peerless/Vifa TG9's. http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_i...roducts_id=1616 Edited May 27, 2008 by ptcary Quote PTCary 2003 SMD PT Cruiser 2011 Honda CBR 250R 2010 Mazda 3i Sport MY BUILD LOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUT BUDDY Posted May 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 (edited) ok finally made up my mind. Tell me what u think.....cost effective and should sound pretty good. 2 pairs of each. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_2316_Visonik+VT1229.html http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=295-378 http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=290-307 a 4"with a tweet in the A-pillars, a 4" and tweet in the factory door openings at knee level, and 2-6.5" at the bottom of each door. Think that will keep up with my BTL 12s? Edited May 31, 2008 by CUT BUDDY Quote TEAM MechMan Alternators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUT BUDDY Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 ended up getting 2 pairs of these http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Ite...X1414&g=410 . Still going to get the audiocontrol DQXS. Put the tweet in its on pair of channels and the 4s in their own too off of a T4004. Then get a pair of dual 4ohm stage2 8z and a T3002.
