3-way active ?????

Recommended Posts

how would one go about doing this?

Hu is a pioneer deh 600ub

i will be running a 8" mid bass, 6" mid and a tweeter per door

amp would probably be a mb quart dsc 4125 for mid bass/mid

and a small amp for tweeters

so im guessing i would probably have to buy a seperate xover to go 3 way active correct??? also what would be a good starting point as far a crossing over midbass, mid range and tweets? hope someone could help me out

Unless you buy higher end SQ amps with in-built crossovers to ~5k then you'll need another crossover.

I would probably go ~300hz and ~3.7khz depending on the drivers you're using.

6" mid paired with a 8" mightn't be ideal, you really want a lighter-weight driver like a 3-4" dome driver to handle the mids, also makes it easier to mount up high with your tweeter to bring the soundstage up.

:o A really REALLY good tweeter but I agree, the lower you can pull your tweeter point the better it tends to sound.

Large format tweeters for the win here ;)

If only the RF360.2 could do it, the only way it can is with mono'd midbass running off the center channel :(

I cut my hertz tweets at 1.3k@48db with 140 rms class a

lol.

I love the sound down there but get multiple imaging points

most mid level tweets will hang at 2.2k

ie: focal tn52 Mille 280's

for the best image they should be crossed at 3k for most installs

but with 3way I think he'd be fine at 2.4-2.5 ish

running a small mid will help too
