Daytons?

6 speakers total does not equal 3 way, you still have two ranges of freq's to use

midbass freqs, and high end freq's

Ah, I get it... sorry for being such a n00bx... we all have to learn right? lol

Someone plan my front stage for me then! Looking to spend under $300 and get LOUD (I plan to have a sub stage producing 155 decibels //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif). Of course I don't expect much sound to be heard through the bass, but I still want it to get loud and sound great even without the subs on. I want to go active.

I have a 4 channel Sundown amp coming (100 watts per channel) and could purchase another amp if needed. Only thing I'm not looking forward to buying is a separate processor or whatever if I'm going three way active....

Get 7's.

I'd go with Ref7 woofers or AA Poly's... and the Vifa XT25... smaller format tweeter.

what processer are you going to use again? I would go with the 7in run actively and the 4in and tweeter run off a passive crossover with a HPF set at about 400hz. IIRC the 880 has high/mids/sub when using crossover mode right? If so, high pass the HIGH RCA to play only 400hz and above and use a passive crossover on it to run the 4in and tweeter correctly, and use the MID RCA to run the 7in from like 80-300hz. and the SUB RCA does the sub.

This is a great suggestion. Very cheap too.

Personally , I'm not all that fond with the daytons for midbass . //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yeah, nG was telling me about his experiences with Refs and midbass..
OK, I'm gonna run two AA Poly 6.5s per door and one Vifa XT25 per a-pillar (probably)... I have a Sundown Audio 100.4 coming... how would I wire this up with my P880PRS & 100.4?

 

[mattmcss 10+ year member]

your going active , think of your 4 ch as two 2 channels

Amp one is for highs , call it the "front" RCA's and set the high pass where you want it

Amp two is for mids, call it "rear" RCA's from the pioneer, and set the lowpass + high pass accordingly, (if 880 prs is capable of bandpass ) (2 ohm) I assume your going to wire the poly's parallel to the amp

In my situtation The Dayton 7's were in very well sealed and deadened doors with 1 1/2" baffles vs . rainbow slc 5 1/4s in 1.5 cuft kicks . The rainbows romp the Dayton's on the low end //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

If your going with the Dayton Reference, you HAVE to get a tweet that'll drop to a 1.8k~2kHz crossover point. I'm rather fond of my Morel MDT-29's for that job.

If it were me I'd source a tweet that would extend down to at least 1.4-1.6khz. I had the 180's crossed @ 2khz behind some BG Neo's and found them rather disturbing. Their sound was best @1.4 but left a huge gap between them and the Neo's I had. I actually still have both set's of drivers that I was going to fill in the gap with a dome mid and put in my beater but I got some Polks really cheap. I could be persuaded to sell them rather cheap. Heavy deadning is a must IMO.

3 of 4 of my AA Poly mids have lead slap. The one that doesn't sounds pretty good and has great midbass... although I found it lacking much above 500 Hz compared to my 6" DLS Iridium driver.

Yikes, I keep hearing that from a bunch of people... kind of scared now.
