got the speakers in today but didnt get the xover installed or anything hooked up yet. i woke up at 5pm lol. if it doesnt rain tomorrow ill finish the rest.

what test tone should i use to set gains though? ive always used 1khz for speakers, but obviously that wont work for the tweets in an active setup. will 1khz work for the mids? and what should i use for the tweets? and do you know where i can get the tone?

1khz is used because most amps are rated @ 1khz...so just set your gains with NO crossovers on, then add the crossovers...

Set the crossover on high pass instead of bandpass and the switch to x1 silly.
Then both the front/high and rear/mid outputs will only be high passed at whichever frequency you choose...once you set your gains, switch the crossover back to bandpass and the switch to x10...

Are you always this paranoid with everything you do? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
Just turn it ALL the way up to 4khz and be done with it...you can always lower it later on when you get more experience...

lol youd be paranoid too if you had to wait 6 months for repair. i know i can set the tweeter at 4kHz but i dont think the the mid should go that high.
