got in touch with Pe today and the Dayton RS100-8 will indeed work with the Dayton passive xover. But,......I'll lose about 3db in comparison to what I have running up front now (Pioneer TS D1720c). Any suggestions??

Cdt:d

main issue with CDT is that I cant find the impedance plots to match the driver with the passive xover I'm using and most "midrange drivers" dont seem to match up too well on the impedance plot when I'm trying to cross as high as 3.5khz. Full range drivers (like the Dayton RS100) seem to be my best bet. PE techs also told me this same thing unless I'd like to pay more for a midrange that can go that high on that xover. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

The pe tech also told me , after I explained to him my intended setup, that the dayton should keep up nicely with my other drivers. So I guess I'm gonna see what happens. The price on the Dayton is pretty smexy too.

Hope it works well for you..sounds like you have your decision made.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Id like to hear how everything works out.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryexcited.gif.c26a15f316d23068607f36ddacd7a7ab.gif

yea...i think lol Now i need to choose a xover point. But I'll be sure to post some results whenever I finish it.

looks like I'm gonna be running the dayton rs150 for midrange up to 2k then a dayton tweeter to match it (unless I can find a better one that will play low enough)

2 questions now though: What should I run as rear fill to blend with this? and will I need to add another tweeter crossed high to reinforce really high freqs since my tweet will be playing so low?

Just use one tweeter. Using more than one just leads to problems. Pickup a pair of aura ns6-8 for the rear fill. run them full range to start. They are less than $25 a pair. You could pick up some extras as they are only $8 if you buy 12. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif I'd like a few more //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I can't even fit those up front and my rears are crazy shallow.

U should buy those dayton rs150s and ssend some to me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

LOL, I was actually thinking that you were close to me. I'm talking to too many people here! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I'd just forget the rear fill.

I'll see how it sounds without it, but I always have preferred rear fill.

Without time alignment rear fill is useless and will cause issues.

so i've heard. some guys over on diyma recommended a mini DSP for t/a so i'm probably gonna try that. just gotta decide what driver to use and what frequencies
