I have Rockford t400.4 and 4 KENWOOD kfc-174 set to 100 hrz and it sounds very clear. I used SMD-DD1 to set the gains. This seems to be what I’m getting from what you are teaching.
dd1 in my opinion is a waste of money, especially since you can buy a nice o-scope for around 200/250 that will work as a multimeter as well, and u will always never a multimeter
Awesome very informative for dose ppl tat don't knw this, I would like to see a video on a tuned subwoofer ported box @ 30 hz & a regular box enclosure to see wat's the difference?
Interesting video, on another note though is when i did a speaker comparison between rf prime amd punch 6.5 speakers the punch has a slightly better speaker resonse however the sensitivity is 3db lower which essentially means you need double the power to get the same sound.
Question; I have an Alpine i209 in my jeep with two sets of Hertz Mille component speakers, a Alpine 10” down fire subwoofer. All powered by Alpine PDX-V9. Should i be using the crossovers that came with the speakers or should I be using only a combination of the amp and head unit crossovers? Thanks.
Hey , Greta video . I have a questions I am running Kicker KS 6..5 components and 6.75 2 way for the rear . I spoke to kicker to see what crossover point i should i use and there telling me To cross it at 180Hz or 200 Hz. But its really not sounding to good . Whats the sweet spoke for these kind of speakers? Also My car is a convertible do i need to adjust anything else beside crossover? Thank you
Hi guy's I like to see you guys set up a multi 4ch amp with HPF-FULL-LPF & SUBSONIC crossover amps built-in how to do the dd-1 with this particular amp since I'm using the skv2 200.4 & components in the front coaxle in the back but you knew that already?
I have a question I don't know anything about HPF or LPF but I bought a Kenwood set of speakers just front speakers and rear speakers in a 2004 Ford ranger nothing special and no amp I'm wondering does the LPF and HPF still hold the same importance ? If so what do I set them to. I have played with it a bit by ear and it sounds really great but I am just not positive if I'm doing the right thing for the speakers.
I have a 4 channel amp and I'm going to send a full signal to the front components. In the rear I have 2 6x8 coaxials. Should I use the lowpass of highpass for those. And at what frequency. Thanks
I have a pair of Sony XS-GS1621 speakers powered by my Rockford fosgate T600 amp. These speakers are rated for up to 110 watts RMS with 320 watts peak power and a frequency range of 32-30,000 hz. Right now I have the speakers set to high pass but I want a little more bass coming from them so the bass from my sub isn't only coming from my trunk. I want a more full sound in my cabin. Will the speakers become distorted if I set them to all pass/will I ruin my speakers? Thanks!
I have a Sony XAV-AX100 car stereo with a high pass range of ‘off-120’ and low pass range of ‘50-120′. I have 4 Kicker CS 6x9’s (3-way), 2 in front and 2 in back. Simple set up. So, if I understand this right then I should leave the high pass to ‘off’ since I’m not passing the bass to a sub or anything, right? Seems the only reason to turn the high pass on is if you had cheap speakers that might blow with too much bass? I've listened with the high pass off and it sounds good, bass kicks good, full sound, doesn't sound like any stress on the speakers. But, I saw your other comment that sounded like if you turn the high pass too low it could blow the speaker if the watts go too high? If I should have the high pass on what do you think a good setting would be? And, what about the low pass? I’ve tried the range of settings ‘50-120’ but I honestly can’t hear any difference. Thanks in advance for any help you offer and sorry if I sound clueless...I kind of am, haha Speaker specs: RMS Power 150 watts Peak power 450 watts Minimum frequency 30 hertz Maximum frequency 20 kilohertz ***It says that the speakers have an integrated crossover, if that means anything***
Very informative. I'd like to adjust my HPF settings to add a little more mid-bass to my 6-1/2" door speakers (Kicker 43CSC654). My head unit does allow for adjustments I just don't know where to begin. The vocals on male singers sound like they're singing at least 3 octaves higher. Any suggestions??
I have 6.5 pioneer in the door with some lanzar bullet tweeters in my front doors and 6x9 pioneer in the rear deck. What is a good crossover point to start at? And what filter should I have my four channel amp on? PLEASE HELP
remzsti I would start the 6x8's at 100hz and see how they sound. Play them by themselves and at the volume you normally listen to them at. See if they bottom out or can handle more bass and adjust the crossover up or down. Repeat the same for the rear starting at 200hz.
Is there anything wrong with doing a frequency overlap between the speakers and sub? For example crossing the 6.5"s highpass at 70hz and the sub lowpass at 90hz? My particular setup seems to sound the best with these settings but, pretty much anything I read says it's a bad idea lol.
My setup sounds good with the LPF at 90-95 hz and the HPF 80 hz. Could be that the door speakers don’t have enough midbass to sound balanced with the sub. My speakerrs are 60 watts each, the sub is 750 watts, 12” inch, in a sealed box built to specs.
As long as it works, it shouldn’t harm anything. It’s just filters that are slightly overlapping. The only thing it could affect is the sound quality, if at all.
It might not look the same to your eyes as on the camera since the camera probably only records like 30 frames per second which is why LED lights look flickering on video but not IRL. But when appying high pass filter the woofer will remove the slower vibrating frequencies which could make it look like in the video, but I wouldnt adjust the setting just based on what it looks like. /rookie
The manufacturer gives you the frequency response of the speaker on the box. So for example if you look at a pioneer 4x6 they say it can do from 50hz to 26kHz. They also say it can handle 30 watts min and 200 watts max. This speaker could never handle even 70 watts playing 50Hz, you would kill the speaker in minutes. If you crossover the speaker at 180Hz limiting the low frequency getting to the speaker the power handling will go up and it may take 100watts. This is one of the ideas we are trying to convey in the video.
I find your videos extremely Entertaining and Informative So please keep them coming. This video did help me a lot to understand better how the HPF works. I am now a bit confused however after reading your reply to Mr Spanky's question. Given your Pioneer 4x6 example speaker (or any speaker for that matter using the MFG specs) How would I know where to crossover my speaker to maximize power handling?
