[QUOTE="Lil Poot, post: 4477288, member: 561892"] planning to upgrade the midbass in my explorer, maybe get my highs and mids keeping up with my bass a little better. what i'm wanting to do is keep my alumapro 2 way component set but go active on them with a kicker kx650.4 (120x4 @ 4 ohms) for now. in 2-4 weeks i'll be buying some high end midbass drivers, haven't decided which yet, most likely something from hertz and using my crossfire vr602 (300x2 @ 2 ohms) to run them. the vehicle is a 98 ford explorer, fully deadened and almost fully sealed doors. i have the tweets mounted high on the door, mids mounted in the stock locations in the front doors. i'm assuming it would be a piss poor idea to mount the midwoofers in the door also, and i'm going to be wanting some custom kickpanels or something? this is my first active setup, so bear with me here. being that my alumapro components are 2 way, and the mids are designed to cover a wider range of frequencies than i will be sending them... since i'm going to all this trouble anyway, would i be better off just going with an all new set of speakers, or will i be able to get good sound from integrating my 2 ways into my new 3 way set? i'm not exactly rich, so i wouldnt really want to spend more than 5-600 on all 6 speakers, and i'm already planning on dropping 2-300 on the midbass. also, i read about my alpine deck not being able to adjust crossover frequencies within 4 positions of each other, saying how if you set 50hz as one adjustment point, you can't touch another until 160hz. that is saying for one range, you must have at least 50-160hz right? can anyone give me a ballpark figure of the crossover settings i'd be using in a setup like that?
