if I were to go fully active would I get an appreciable SQ benefit in my current system?
So from my pxa-h100 DSP I am three way active with:
my rear coaxial 6x9s being being band passed seeing between 63-5k hertz (the amp was oddly going into protection mode when sending them a moderate amount of power above 5khz)
my front type-r components (r-s65c.2) seeing 63hz And up active but using the type-r crossovers
the front speakers are using the stock wiring from the truck.
In order to eliminate the crossovers I need to:
run woofer wire to the front doors (let the tweeters use the stock wiring or run both at the same time)
get rca splitters for the pdx-f4 so all the channels get a band passed woofer frequency, and Get a tweeter amp.
or ditch the rears and power the tweeters with the pdx f4 on two Of the channels.
so not a lot of work, but the system already sounds great to me and has plenty of power so ditching the passive crossover wouldn’t be for power it would be to get a SQ boost.... but would I get that with What I have?
I’m also wondering if I should at least be connected to the active crossover connection on the woofer?
it bypasses a coil not a cap but I wasn’t positive if that meant it just cut low end.
should I just be happy With the way things are? or Am I missing out on a big SQ jump especially considering not that much more gets me fully active?
thanks for you input and making it this far
