I think my last question was misinterpreted. I was asking where to buy separate woofer/tweeters that arent packaged with a crossover. I've since found them. Not planning to do a dsp- if I go active I'd use a deck with a 3-way crossover option built in. Interesting that you mention that...

How do you all recommend sourcing matched component speakers without them including a crossover?

Ahhh.... I see. I surprised the one I was looking at didn't have something, given its price. Was looking at Kenwood DDX9905S mainly because it has the good screen, and you can easily override the stupid "parking brake must be engaged" nonsense to access all of the menus. Android auto is a...

Forgive my ignorance on the active crossover- As I read through the specs on various decks, I see that the HPF ends at 200-250Hz. Wouldn't you want a LOT higher for a tweeter? Amps also have a HPF, but again they seem to all tap out by 250Hz.

Oh man, this is the thing I keep reading about. Active. So to do active, I need an amp channel dedicated to each speaker, right? Meaning I'd still have a 5 channel, with ch 1 for L tweet, 2 for L Woof, 3 for R Tweet, 4 for R woof, and 5 for sub? And no crossover, because instead I use either...

Dude, your sig is my dream.

I suppose I could ask around about local shops and see if any would be able to make something happen the way you describe. I have a low trust of local proprietors in general in this city- its not the easiest place on earth to find quality work. Reading up on CDT now- thanks for that...

I bought the element a few years ago to get my greyhound to the doctor. Thought I would sell it after that, but damn if it isn't the most useful car I've owned. So it became my daily. I had considered exactly what you are suggesting as far as running fronts only and using a 4 channel. My...

Greetings everyone. I am an old man now. My car stereo building days were 25 years ago- putting a Pioneer CD deck in a crown vic, and then trading some Subway Sandwiches (I was a Sandwich Artist) for a couple of questionable 12" subs and an amp. So I didn't know much then. Imagine how...
