JZeFF Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Alright, so I have finally decided to play with the "home audio" world. I'm going to make myself some mini-towers, 2 component speaker sets, and like a 12" sub in a ported box. I'm not looking to spend a fortune. I want to be able to hook the speakers up to my computer and possibly my PS3 Im assuming i need an EQ/input device, some kinda crossover, and the amps. Can someone maybe point me in the right direction for some decent beginner stuff.. I can handle the speaker part myself, i just need some direction on the aforementioned items.

JZeFF Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Someone has to know, lol... I only want to run the components with crossovers in line until i can afford to get two amps and an EQ... Like i said, im looking to run like 2 cheap 12's and 4 sets of decent components. Someone point me in the right direction?

JZeFF Posted December 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Alright, no one knows ANYTHING about PA systems... lol. After further research im thinking of just going with Crown. Possibly two Crown XLS1000's. One amp will run the tweeters on 1 channel, and the mids on the other channel. The other amp will run the two subs bridged. What else do i need? Apparently the Crown's have a built in crossover, but does anyone have any experience with them? This was taken from the Crown Website: PureBand™ Crossover System The PureBand™ Crossover System in the XLS Series adds an enormous amount of flexibility and performance to any system. With this system, the crossover frequency is completely variable allowing the choice of any crossover point between 50Hz and 3kHz on 1/12 octave centers. The use of 4th order Linkwitz-Riley filters provides steep slopes for a seamless transition between high and low drivers. And with four crossover modes to choose from providing the ultimate in flexibility, all of your system needs are covered: Crossover Mode (CH1=LPF, CH2=HPF) – When chosen, this mode enables a LowPass Filter on Channel 1 and a HighPass Filter on Channel 2 at the frequency chosen. LowPass Mode (CH1=LPF, CH2=LPF) – When chosen, this mode enables a LowPass Filter on both Channel 1 and Channel 1 at the frequency chosen. HighPass Mode (CH1=HPF, CH2=HPF) – When chosen, this mode enables a HighPass Filter on both Channel 1 and Channel 2 at the frequency chosen. Bridge Mode (LPF or HPF) – When the amplifier is put into Bridge-Mono, you are still able to use the crossover system and employ either a LowPass Filter or HighPass Filter at the frequency chosen. All of the PureBand™ Crossover System settings can be fully configured quickly and easily from the front panel using the intuitive LCD interface. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ One thing i'm confused on is this, how would i give the mids both a HPF, and a LPF since they need to be bandpass. I dont want them to be playing notes the subs should be playing... Im assuming i also need a mixer of some sort, and an EQ?
