Thank you UPS, Madisound, Morel, Seas and Second Skin

drama is selling his coustic crossover.
I bought a pair of Arc audio passives just in case I want to give it a try.

They are 4 ohm only so they will have to go on the "high" SEAS leg of

amplification. I think something small like a sealed back 2" dome mid.

Hopefully I'll just be satisfied with 2-way.

I am glad that I was able to help, let me know if you need anything else. I look forward to seeing the end product. Who knows I may have to come hear it.
Thanks C3. It's going to be a few weeks before I get this stuff installed unless we

get a weekend in the 70's. Shoot me a PM if your ever headed up to Dallas.

I'm hearing 10 hours break in on pink noise is not a bad idea, anyone agree/disagree or think maybe longer?

 
They have an insane frequency response 20 - 5k //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif
Not in your car.

That's probably nearfield on-axis. Door location is at least 60* off axis for the driver's side. There goes part of your top end response.

Also, a 7" mid will start beaming around 2khz because that where the FR meets the cone diameter. This further limits the top end as beaming is narrowing of dispersion.

A couple solutions are to add a MR that plays as high as possible (flat to at least 10k) to eliminate the tweeter, go 3-way active up front, or move the mids to the kicks.

 
Those went on sale after I purchased these, same price and they are in stock:fyi:
And they are hidden on the website, they are not listed under 6" woofers, only in the sale section.

Yep, those are very similar to my old pg elites.. Hmm decisions decisions:D

 
I have to say that ARC has great customer service. I payed next to nothing for some

used ACS-265 passive crossovers off of ebay and can't find any docs on them.

I emailed their support guy and he got back to me in 1 day with the answer.

3200Hz 12db crossover point

100w rms power handling.

Tweeters wired out of phase.

Anyone know what will happen to that crossover point if i wire

the 8 ohm Morels to the woofer output?

Or just don't do it.
