    Sold BNIB Cerwin Vega EXL-400.4

    These can't possibly still be for sale, can they? I'd be shocked if they were. Nevertheless, YGPM.

    Cadence FXA-500

    Right now I'm using an Alpine MRP-F450 for my mids/highs and a JBL 600.1 for my Kappa Perfect 12" sub. The Alpine does about 70W x 4 into 4 ohms, and the JBL does 300W x 1 into 4 ohms. Do you guys think it would be smart to replace the two amps I have now with this 5 channel Cadence amp? It's...

    Help setting the HPF and LPF on my amp

    You can't set one crossover for channels 1 & 2 and then another for channels 3 & 4? Well, in that case set the amp like I suggested in the first two paragraphs above. Then go to your local audio store and get some inline lowpass crossovers for your mids so they don't get all the...

    Help setting the HPF and LPF on my amp

    Ok, from the back of your HU you'll have two pairs of RCA cables (plugged into channels 1, 2, 3 & 4) running to your amplifier. Let's say you want to use channels 1 & 2 for your tweeters. Set the crossover selector on channels 1 & 2 on your amplifier to highpass. Then turn the...

    Help setting the HPF and LPF on my amp

    It looks to me like, since he has an HPF and an LPF on each channel, he can bandpass his mids using the amp. However, if your HU has the capabilities, which I believe it does, I think that would be the better option. Are you using any other speakers besides the one pair of mids and one pair of...

    Help setting the HPF and LPF on my amp

    If you want to amplify your tweeters, you're going to have to have either a 4 channel amp or a couple of 2 channel amps. I don't know how you have your HU wired. For all we know, the crossover for the tweets that the factory used is still in effect. But if you amplify the tweeters, you'll...

    Help setting the HPF and LPF on my amp

    I can find RD Audio, but nothing about that model. Is it a 4 channel or a 2 channel?

    Help setting the HPF and LPF on my amp

    How about this: What components do you have and did they come with a crossover?

    Help setting the HPF and LPF on my amp

    If I'm not mistaken, if you're not using the passive crossover that came with your component set and have the tweets wired directly to the HU (which, in your case, has onboard sound processing/crossovers) then you are running active. Let's say, for example, that you've used the crossover on...

    Cadence FXA-500

    I was wondering if this amp was worth a ****. I know Cadence speakers get some love from a few guys around here, but didn't know about this series of amps. Anyone with any experience or comments? Here are the specs: FXA-500 4 CHANNEL STEREO + 1 CHANNEL MONO POWER AMPLIFIER 4 ohm RMS Power...

    Decision time! Compare and Contrast!

    I know that it's ideal to listen to as many of these as possible, but to be honest, it's not always that easy. Here in Wichita, I know of Alpine dealers, possibly one MB Quart dealer (not sure, they might only carry Autotek) and a Polk dealer (Circuit City) that doesn't even carry the Momos...

    I'm also strongly considering the Cadence CLV-6Ks. Come on guys, help me out!

    Decision time! Compare and Contrast!

    Thanks for the input tcguy. I'm considering the RSDs largely because of the great feedback you've given on them. As for the others, I know you guys are probably sick of 6.5" component threads (believe me, I've read through a shitload of them), but I'd really appreciate some more opinions.
