[QUOTE="HardcoreBob, post: 8598987, member: 673712"] I really appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge, you as well Jeff... I'm caught in a hard spot because I am wanting to have some "passion" in this system, and solid sound quality... but, I remember back in the day when I was really into car audio as well as actually playing guitar and making music... I want that perfect tone, but if I have TOO many options and layers of tweaking, and crossing over, and equalizing... that I just get lost in a fog, and end up constantly trying to tweak for a better sound... I'm hoping that being older and smarter, that I can find that happy medium, that sweet spot, between relatively easy gratification, and having enough control to get it how I want it without getting lost, or just not quite smart enough to handle it... I'm one of those guys that's very intelligent in some ways and slow in others... With you guys help the picture is coming a little more into focus... I obviously (considering I have no knowledge of frequency values) need a set of parameters to go by as a rough start, and make sure my tweeters are safe at all times... From what I understand, the amp I'll be using for at least the components, is an exceptionally good old school, made in the USA ppi pcx4125, I already know you guys will probably suggest only the digital crossover, but is the crossover on a great amp just plain unacceptable?[IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171005/023467bfda32973f23f23b59c0b96574.jpg[/IMG] I'm going to look harder at the speakers, and try to hear some in person (I feel likely to support a local business with something other than the speakers because I want the master sheet and little extras from crutchfield... I literally listen to anything and everything, but my passion, is the lower toned distortion in heavy metal guitars... I fear getting highs that are too bright, another reason I need to educate my self on crossover frequencies Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
