Ok lets see if i got this straight for how i would go about this if i wanted to go full active.
amp= 150 rms by 4 channels.
channel 1+2 goes to woofers
channel 3+4 goes to tweeters.
If i wanted to follow your advice and start with 4Khz.
(For Woofers)
Head unit to 90%(ive read excelons have no clipping till almost 100%, tested this out by ear and sounds pretty true.)
Turn channel 1+2 to full range. Turn gains up till its as loud as ill ever listen to it.
Turn channels 1+2 to HPF. Run 4khz test tone. Turn hpf clockwise until i hear it start to attenuate(which i think means gets quieter). Thats right about where 4khz is on my HPF dial on my amp.
Use sound meter on phone, write down what number its giving me on loudest ill listen to it. Using 4khz tone
(for tweeters)
Turn on HPF. Set it to where its at on Channels 1+2
look at sound meter, turn gains up till it matches the number that the woofers were at.
So questions.
1. Should i get bass blockers for tweeters as a reassurance?
2.I feel like im not supposed to have it at full volume with test tones. Pretty sure its really bad for the speakers. if the Sound meter on my phone says (just for arguments sake) 10db on 11 volume, then it should be 20db on 22 volume. Making it so i shouldnt have to run full volume to it balanced
3. Should i just ditch the hertz tweeter and invest in a PA high rms tweeter. mount it in my door, closer to my woofer?
also my amp has an undefeatable sunsonic filter that maxes out at 500hz. Im assuming on my tweeter side, i should turn that all the way up to 500hz, Help block any bass frequencies.
