ptcary Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) I'm currently testing the 4" Daytons in my pillars by powering them off my head unit with passive crossovers and they get plenty loud. Not sure of the mounting depth on the 6.5" though. Great speakers!

beastoakland Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) whats active....external crossover? Edited July 2, 2008 by beastoakland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUT BUDDY Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 whats active....external crossover? yea. Anything that seperates ur channels from each other and has a eq to itself. Like if u have a 6.5" comp set and ur just running them off the front on the radio and using the factory crossover that came with the set....thats passive (in line). If u get a 3 way crossover/eq and run the tweets off its own channel and 6.5 off its own....thats active and sounds 1000x better and u have more control over each individual speaker.

beastoakland Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 what about CDT 6.5's are those active? sorry for the dumb questions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUT BUDDY Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 (edited) what about CDT 6.5's are those active? sorry for the dumb questions? no comp set or speaker is active unless seperated and used with an external crossover.....not a passive crossover. This is the external crossover/processorthat I will be using (active) http://mobileaudiocontrol.com/product.asp?...l1=5247&l2= . These are examples of passive crossovers http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...;category_id=11 . Totally different. Look at the one Imma be using. It has a channel for front high which is for your tweets, front bandpass for your midrange, rear low/bandpass for your midbass, and sub for obviously your subs. Each has its on settings meaning when I hook my speakers up to an amp....the tweets will have an amp or channel on the amp to itself, the 4" midranges will have one to themselves, etc. When I go to tweek something on my 6.5" woofers....no other speaker will be effected but the 6.5s because ithey're the only one on that channel.....thats active. Passive is using those lil crossovers that come on a comp set like the ones from woofersetc. If u hook them straight up to an amp and u go to change settings; it will effect both the mid and tweet. Actives are more advanced but pricey. If your just looking to get loud then Id just do a bunch of comp sets....actives are more for SQ and control purposes.
