Hello people,
Just to post a little feedback here,
Finally i got the kit runing active from alpine 9887R to Boston amp and then to front stage ML-165 woofer/mid on the doors, lower area and to the ml-28 tweeters located at the sail panel (thats how the inside of the rear view mirror is called, isnt it?). MLCX20 crossovers are untouched and left in the box lolol
I am using the short tweeter dome mainly because the angled mounting does not allow for the long one to be used, as soon as i have a mod done for it i will rather use this one, for softer and lower queue high frequency.
Still to be done is the dynamat extreme on door panels as well as the plain & chant behind the woofer itself.
Also have to re-imprint the alpine hu.
Dont want to run a deja vu post here, but all i can say is... wow! what a clear sound! if this is the mlk-165 (the baby mille) i wonder how can the mlk-2 be better than this?
my present crossover settings, still playing with them:
- low (to sub) - 80Hz on 12th octave, set at 0
- mid-low (to woofer) - 63Hz on 18th octave, set at 0
- mid-high (to woofer) - 2500Hz on 18th octave, set at 0
- high (to tweeter) - 2500 on 24th octave, set at 0
Channels 1 & 2 on Boston go to tweeters, channels 3 & 4 go to woofers. No need to bridge or anything, gains are just a tidy bit above mid level, no need to go over that, as the sound on level 24 is practically the highest my ears can take on sound level without damage lolol
Still using the high pass on the boston chan. 1 & 2 a few notches, so just to prevent any foolishness from experimenting on the tweeters. But next step would be filter off at the Boston amp level i guess.
So now i am entering speakers softening phase for 3 to 4 weeks, but it can only get better overtime.
All an all i am very happy so far, total investment is at about 1.2k euro.
Comments and ideas are all welcome of course.!
