[QUOTE="Graves, post: 8721086, member: 681362"] 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😅 [/QUOTE]
