crossover question

I ALMOST bought one of those audiocontrol xover. Good thing I didn't. If I already have trouble tuning with an active system, it's gonna be a pain running back and forth.

People seem to favor that coustic XM6 crossover.

I also enjoy my ARC Audio MX-1.

I use to have that Arc audio mx-1 xover. Pretty good xover. It wasn't expensive either.

i'm a fan of resistor packs. people don't randomly turn the resistor pack.

x2. i love my audiocontrol EQX.. its a 13-band EQ with the programmable crossover. i didnt know it had the programmable crossover until i got it then when i found out, i loved it two times more. and squeak, about the part where u mention u dont like how u can overlap/underlap crossover frequencies.. i read in an audiocontrol tech sheet that when using a proper EQ and crossover, u shouldnt have to need to overlap or undrelap your crossover points.. audiocontrol suggests selecting the best crossover setting u can and use the EQ to "underlap" or "overlap" yourself.. not saying theyre right, but just letting you know that's what they said. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

They say that only because their stuff won't do it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

As helotaxi said.....it's marketing plain and simple. Their equipment can't do it, so they say it isn't necessary. They are wrong.

hmmm.. well dammit i cant say my system is as flawless as IT CAN BE then.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif i pretty much set my crossover point to 52hz because it sounded like my infinity perfects could go that low without distorting. should i try playing with a higher crossover point? i have an RTA and my EQ is setup crazy to get a decent flat line on the RTA. i have one band at like -7 db and then the next one right next to it is at +7 db. REQ said he suggests i dont boost and cut more than 3db between each octave but i changed the INPUT GAIN to -7 to compensate for it or at least thats what im hoping its doing.. cuz if i dont boost or cut more than 3db it seems impossible to get a flat line.. grrr:furious:
