[QUOTE="Hernan, post: 846082, member: 560706"] I bought a new car. It is very small and it has no place to install door drivers. I have an old 3 way component from Infinity CS1A, ribbon tweeters, 4" mid high driver and 6x9 midbass drivers. My first attemp was putting the 4"s at the dash, A pillar mounted tweeters and 6x9 at the back panel plus a sub in the trunk. I powered the system with a RF 4 channel amp. I was dissapointed with the results because the mid bass are playing too high frecuencies and the overall imaging was bad. My next attemp was putting custom door panels with 6.5 drivers, keeping the factory crossover. 6x9 were out of the ecuation. Well, the system now images decently but I was still looking for something better. I'm now thinking on using an active setup. I get an MTX 3 way Xover and another two channel amp. So, 3 way comps, 6 amped channels and the 3 way xover. Which way to go? I'm two channels short for a full active setup so i will have to play a bit with the available resourses. My first plan is: 1- running the tweeters from the HU front channel thru the component factory crossover. This will give me some gain control from the fader. 2- back channel to the xover (18db/oct slopes). First HP at 200 to the 4", BD 80-200 to the 6.5 and LP 80 to the sub. Any comments?
