I am in the works of adding a set of HD-4s in the kicks and will probably use the passive SatNet 480 so that the mid plays nothing below 400hz and the tweet will crossover i think at 4200hz where the SatNet crosses it over and will run oof one amp. The ES-600 will run off the other monitor and play 63hz to 800hz(but not sure have to see how it will sound) and be crossed at the HU at about 1khz@24db slope and also hooked through the XM6 and have it crossed there too, but this is all pending for now.

Bodge, you'll find out how fun and easy it is to use the Eclipse 8455 with an active frontstage especially with a dedicated 5 band eq to each the mids and tweets.

Gsteg, how is the midbass on the seas lotus performance?

Can someone assist me with my slopes...Im going crazy trying to tune my setup

 

[alphakenny1 10+ year member]

actually i'm also seriously considering CA18RNX. slammed the CA18RNX doesn't play well above 1khz or what?

 

[GSteg 10+ year member]

Gsteg, how is the midbass on the seas lotus performance?

more output than the Lotus Reference that's for sure, but not as detailed (honestly, the difference is very little).

yea i think i might get those because the seas mounting depth is above 3" and i have about 3" to work with while the seas lotus performance is like 2.6" or so.

also lol wanna sell me the reference tweets?

What's wrong with your slope? The only problem I see is the crossover point. You're crossing the mids and horns at 1.0khz on 12db slope. This means there is quite a bump from 500hz to 2khz, moreso at 1khz (probably a huge peak). Raise the crossover for the horns to 1.2khz and LP the midrange to about 800hz on a 12db slope. You do not want the cross the mids and horns at the same frequency. Frequency response will be off will sound unnatural.

they actually play pretty good up to around 4khz

my horns just sound better 1khz and above

Im still tweaking though...
