Hertz HSK165. Going active tomorrow.

[Racerx250 10+ year member]

Alright. So the time has come for me to run active. Hopefully I don't end up needing new tweeters tomorrow.

Before I get started on this project anybody have some advice for me? I've been searching and searching for about a week already. Dediced to make a thread to ask a question or two.

First off, what should I use at an x-over point just to start with for my tweeters and roughly how much power.

And Hertz says the LP on the mid is 50hz or so. What should I set mine at? or Will it all be dependent on what I want/like?

Thanx in advance for any input. Wish me luck. If I don't post for a month or so, things more than likley went VERY badly.

Didn't happen yesterday. Too much drinking/working on other things + bad weather. Today is looking much better.

Hell I guess if I blow em up, that means it's time to upgrade.

well im going to run all RF amps, so there will be a t600-4 on the front, should do ~150@4ohms per channel , rear gets a t400-2, bass gets a t40001

i coulda got audison amps, but i didnt want just 1 audison amp, and they are costly:crap:

make sure you have a 9v batt or drill batt to pop the speakers so you know exactly which ones you are hooking up where, dont want to get the wires backwards

quit giving excuses and go out there and do it
