Hello I was hoping you could clarify something for me.

I am having a hard time understanding if the built in crossover will work for me here is what I want to do.

High pass at 250hz

Midbass pass : high at 250hz, low at 80hz

Subwoofer : 80hz and under

Is this something the internal crossover can do?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

i have the 7100 model and yes it will do that for you no problem. you first have to set it up on pro/3way mode.

Yes you can according to the manual:

3-way speaker layout:

M-LPF/Hi:

200 Hz ↔ 250 Hz ↔ 315 Hz ↔ 400 Hz ↔ 500 Hz ↔ 630 Hz ↔ 800 Hz ↔ 1kHz ↔ 1.25kHz ↔ 1.6 kHz ↔ 2 kHz ↔ 2.5 kHz ↔ 3.15 kHz ↔ 4kHz ↔ 5kHz ↔ 6.3 kHz ↔ 8kHz ↔ 10 kHz

M-HPF/Low:

20 Hz ↔ 25 Hz ↔ 31.5 Hz ↔ 40 Hz ↔ 50 Hz ↔ 63 Hz ↔ 80 Hz ↔ 100 Hz ↔ 125 Hz ↔ 160Hz ↔ 200 Hz

What kind of tweeters are you using setting the crossover at 250 Hz? That's rather low. The mid should be good to at least 2 kHz. Even that tends to be a rather low crossover point for a mid to tweeter.

wow thats low for the highs and midbass????.......hmmmm

Is this commenting on my post or the OP's post? Most highs (tweeters) play about 2500 Hz and up. Most mids should be good up to at least there. IMO, that's a low crossover point to have for the mid and tweeter. Most component sets have crossover settings at or above 2500 Hz.

Looking to run HAT L4's in kick panels

Hybrid Audio Technolgies 4.5" mid, frequency response as low as 160hz and they roll off at 17,500khz. No need for a tweeter with them. i am planning on running Peerless 6.5" midbass' in the doors crossed LP at 80hz and HP at 250hz. The L4's will take the top and subs will handle the bottom.

Although 17.5 kHz is high, the average human ear (assuming a minimum amount of hearing damage) is capable of perceiving waves all the way up to 20 kHz. The CD frequency response of the 7200MKII is 20 Hz to 20 kHz. You'd be missing information while playing CDs. It would sound like lightly compressed music. If you plan on only listening to some MP3 player loaded with compressed music or FM, you'd do just fine. It seems as though getting such a high end HU and then cutting the very upper frequency response of your system, you're defeating the purpose. The CD player is where you'll notice it the most. Granted the speakers will be able to play a little over the 17.5 kHz, it probably won't be all that clean. Then again, I could be completely wrong.

It seems to be all about the install and getting them on axis to achieve 17 kHz.

if you are a teenager your hearing might be able to pick up 20khz but it is a proven scientific fact that the older you get the more you loose the high end frequencies. Studies have shown that men in there mid to late 20's generally don't pick up anything over 18khz and at my age of almost 40 i would be lucky to hear 17khz so i don't think i would be missing anything.

I have also talked with people that have the L4's and they say they seem to work the best about 20 degrees off axis pointed more towards the rear view mirror. i should be able to get this with the kicks. And hey if i do find i am missing something without a tweeter i can always wire one in.

I didn't realize your age. At that age, you probably cannot hear all the way up to 20 kHz, and in which case your design would probably suit you well. I can hear test tones (or test shrills) well over 20 kHz. They'll give me a headache, but I can hear them. I'll be 23 in a month and I'm still doing rather well with my hearing, even after abusing it, knock on wood...

I did a test this morning and i could slightly hear changes around the 18 to 18.5khz range. Anything above that i couldn't hear.

I love playing around with extremely high test tones when I'm in class. They're high enough so people can't tell exactly where they're coming from, and it pisses a lot of people off...well, at least those that can hear them. Good stuff.
