[QUOTE="woody70, post: 8509805, member: 668401"] Just now starting to work on my son's truck install. Got stuff for Christmas and I'm just now really getting some time to work on it. He has been patiently waiting. I will start a build log really soon as I've been taking some pics as I go along. Nothing groundbreaking but maybe it will help someone in the future. Been so long since I've done this stuff that I'm having to relearn some things that I've forgotten, but thanks to all the people on here for their knowledge I've have been able to learn alot. CSCStang built us a T-line center console box. This was right around the time he got hurt. Hope he is doing better now. He wasn't able to carpet/vinlyl top the box, so I had a local shop finish it. I was going to do it, but just don't have the time. Probably would have messed up and had to start over, but hey that's how I learn. Anyway, the shop did a **** poor job and took some liberties with the box. Now I gotta take apart some of their work and fix it. CSCStang would have been appalled at what they did lol. Ok, now for some more input from you guys. I'm going with active setup. Pioneer 2800BS HU, Hertz HSK 165 mid/tweet components and Sundown SA-10 sub. RF T600-4 for mids/highs and Sundown SAE1000D for sub. Now, since i will be using the 2800 HU for the crossover in the active setup (I think Pioneer calls it "Network Mode") I need some ballpark starting points for the speakers. Mainly I don't want to fry the Hertz HT-25 tweeter by having the high pass xover point to low. The passive network that it comes with is set around 3300 hz with 12 db slope. Is that what I should start with on the 2800 HU? Forgive me if that is a stupid question. Been reading through a lot of posts and sometimes I just get to the point of info overload. There were some guys on youtube (5star) that gave a good in-depth review of how to work all the features of the unit and they suggested starting the tweeter at around 8k, which seemed on the high side to me, but hey what do I know. So, should I just look up the spec sheets for each speaker and use those as starting points for all xover settings or are there some ballpark settings that someone could give me? Just in case the info is needed the 2800 HU has the following xover settings in active/network setup: HP, MHP, MLP, and sub. Each one has several freq to choose from and slopes of 6-24db. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Build log coming ASAP. [/QUOTE]
