So I assume that I'm wiring tweeters to two channels one and two putting the filter on high pass

Wiring the mids to channel 3 and 4 putting it on Full Pass

Given these crossover options it doesn't matter if the tweeters go on channels 1+2 or 3+4, so that's fine. I see "H.U. 80prs" in your signature. Are you setting the filters on the head unit?

You can keep both on full pass at the amp and just use the 80prs crossovers.

Your image posts need to go directly to the file name. If you're on a computer you need to right click on the image and select "copy image address". On a mobile device press and hold on the image and then do the same.

Review this in the car so you know what you're controlling on the HU first.



As for crossover slope, which you must select, using 24 dB/octave at all times is generally the safest way to start. It cuts power rapidly above or below the crossover frequency, which is good for protecting the tweeters and for saving the mids from popping due to bass.

GENERALLY SAFE SETTINGS FOR 6.5" MIDS AND 1" TWEETERS

MIDS HPF 80 Hz, LPF 3,000 Hz

TWEETERS HPF 3,000 Hz

Subwoofer LPF 60 Hz - the gap between sub and mids is assuming you want the bass louder and will want some good "bump", yet you want to try to get that SQ "bass up front"

Dial in a high pass filter on the tweeter channels of the amplifier as a back-up protection in case you lose your settings on the HU. Aiming for 1 kHz or so is fine and won't screw up the sound.

well I think I have a dead tweeter. So that's pretty sweet

Why's that?

Why's that?

No sound from it as I go through the balance and fade. Pulled it out there's no ohm load reading

I see. That would be a problem. Did you put your meter leads directly on the terminals of the tweeter?

No terminals. Just two wires coming out the back
