Alright, guess that means I should use the external crossovers.

The reason why I did not use the passive crossovers is because I was told i could set the frequencies at the HU since it has HPF and "active" crossover abilities. I'm guessing this is incorrect then? Here is the link to the manual that shows the available HU Frequency Settings on page 23 if it...

I just got a set of PG 6.5 components installed and powered by a four channel amp. Tweets are on the front channel and Mids are on the rear. As of right now I am not using the provided external crossover. My headunit has built in "active" crossover. What should I set my crossovers to on my...

i agree that being only a 64bit display the graphics are pretty horrid. As of right now, mine is set on a regular info display as well.

So, my kenwood KDC-X792 arrived today and I'm itching to start customizing it. Is there a website that has pre-made wallpapers and animated pics? I downloaded the utility from kenwood to make your own, but wanted to see what was out there that have been made by others. Thanks If you have not...

Bump after a couple days. Decided to go with a ported enclosure. Not sure of the Box Dimensions. Could someone offer a few opinions? Thanks

evening bump for the hell of it. Going out of town in a min. I'll check back here when i get back tomorrow. Thanks for the offers so far, I will think on them tonight.

Budget is roughly $150

Sorry, Seen a lot of people putting 150 on them here. Figured I would just turn the gain down to allow for some headroom and split the woofers and tweets if I could get a 4ch amp. Tweets would not run as high.

Looking for an amp to power a set of Phoenix Gold 6.5" Wanting about 150w per channel. Not wanting to spend too much. Thanks

*Just realized I spelled "Audio" wrong. Dyslexia FTL I'm getting ready to order 2 Diamond Audio D312.2 subs and have not decided between sealed or ported. (i will probably go ported though). The specs on Diamond Audio's website show this for the recommended dimensions...

When using a Y cable, would that drop the preamp voltage in 1/2? For instance: the Kenwood KDC-X792 I ordered has 4volt preamp outputs. By splitting the signal to two inputs, this would send 2v to each correct?

Thanks for clearing that up. Also, for the front stage, since components have both mid woofers and tweeters, would you set the amp as flat, use the crossovers that come with them, and then use the eq on the headunit to make your adjustments? Learning quite a bit still.

Ok, so if I bridged it this way, would I still be able to fade left and right for stereo or would it fade front to back? The headunit has 3 pair of RCA outs. Thanks for explaining.

Thanks for the amp recommendations. Yes, I'll be running only one set of the PGs and have decided to go with the Diamond Audio since sq is my goal. Never thought about bridging a 4 channel as I have been looking at 2-channel amps. If you bridge a 4-channel, would you run the left off the front...
