[QUOTE="MiniVanMan, post: 2944615, member: 573252"] Okay, I'm not at all familiar with that unit. Check over at [URL="http://www.diymobileaudio.com."]http://www.diymobileaudio.com.[/URL] Somebody over there may be familiar with the unit. First off, we have to figure out where your low passes are. The high pass for your tweeters is pretty straight forward. However, if you can bandpass your mid, then we can start there. It's not uncommon to underlap crossover frequencies. Understand that a typical Linkwitz-Riley crossover network, by default is an underlapped network. It's not as dramatic as a 1/2 octave difference, but it's underlapped nonetheless. In this case if you low pass your mid at 2khz, and high pass your tweeter at 3 khz, you can use some EQ to bump up the response at about 2.5 khz. It's not a bad idea to do this anyway, if you're mounting the drivers in your doors. If you have the type of EQ that you can adjust the Q, go for a wide Q. 7" drivers have a tendency to display the effects of an off-axis alignment by the low 2000s. Now another option is to high pass your G18s (Yes, your G18s), and let them roll off naturally up top. The cone breakup of the G18 is very minimal. It's greater than the CA18RNX, but it's still pretty mild. It might not be noticeable at all. Then you just blend your tweeter as needed. That's a simple solution, should you not get the 2khz/3khz crossover point worked out. Again though, check over at DIYMA for some possible specifics on that unit. [/QUOTE]
