People using 3way active xover on their Alpine hu's (Post here please!!!)

[Slaugh]

hi i want to know how you leave your active crossover settings on the head unit?

for low/mid-low/mid-high/high

please

[mdma]

that 4-way, alpine's xo is 3 way

[cjjackson85]

Mine has a 4-way...

[mdma]

on a headunit? is it one of the 1.5 din models?

[Slaugh]

well mines called 3-way and has all these xover bands... uhhh

The mid-low and mid-high is the 2 crossover points for the bandpass for the mids. My clarion is a 4-way with crossover points for the sub low, mid and high. That was the only thing i didnt like about the alpine and eclipse active crossovers, no sub crossover.

[JAZN]

if you're asking people what their xover freq's are, thats completely vehicle/speaker dependent...

[Slaugh]

im just curious about that because im using 10k for mid-high and i dont know if its too high or something, i want to know what people usually use

[JAZN]

thats really high. the only reason i could see them being that high is if the tweets are in the a pillar, and that would mean u'd need midranges that could go that high to meet up with the tweets.

[Slaugh]

yeah so what is usually this set on? i think on 4.0k it sounds kinda hollow or something

[JAZN]

depends on what tweets u have and where theyre installed.

my eclipse has a dedicated sub crossover

What other decks dont have the the Clarion has is capability for a 3way active fronstage-in which you can xover your subs/ midbass/midrange/highs if necesary

That was what i was talking about in the active mode. Does your new eclipse have a 4-way active now?

Eclipse 8053
Highs HP@ 3.15khz
Mid LP@ 3.15khz
Mid HP@ 63hz
Low LP@ 63hz (I dont currently have subs but that is what it was and will be)

What you were 'talking about' and what you posted are 2 diff things. Eclipse/Alpines do not have individual channels dedicated for midbass and midrange as the DRZ does. But all have sub xovers. As far as 4way active can only be achieved with a dedck w/ 4 preouts (only one i know of is the drz) or external processing.
