Please help! 2 way setup question!

Hello i have CDT es-62i gold speakers with es-010 tweeters.

I had installed these a week ago with the crossovers they came with.

Everything is working fine.

Now i am trying to go 2 way so i disconnected the tweeter from the crossover and connected it directly to the H701 unit and i can barely hear anything.

Can somebody please help.

You connected your tweeter directly to your sound processor? Did you do that with the mids too?

Yup , but I gotta ask. How exactly did you go about connecting the tweets to the 701? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I connected one side of an rca to the h701 and the other end stripped off to the tweets //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

So now that i realized that i need an amp to power the tweeters .. and i dont have one.. so i basically connected the FRONT1/2 from H701 to the PREAMP input of the w505 and connected the tweets to the stock wires already running through the doors! And its sounds pretty **** good!

I am now gonna look for an amp though!

But **** 2 way active is the way to go!

Its night and day difference for sure! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

I like a good 2 way setup. Sounds pretty good once you get it tuned //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I wonder what should i set the Xover to for the tweeters

Depends on the tweeters, mids, power, where everything is mounted at...yada yada. To start off, I would try the same points as the passives, then play //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
