I have for front 2-5.25" kenwoods and rear I have 2-6x9's I believe 3way I will be getting a component for my fronts but for know any good choice of crossover and what type passive or electronic and not very familiar with crossovers does it make system sound cleaner and louder? and also what type 2way or 3way. Please if I forgot something let me know & also my amp is a 301x punch amp...

If you're using coaxials, you don't really need external Xovers, that's handled by the speakers themselves.

ok thank u for replying if my deck has built in hpf that has 50,80,125, where is it recommended to set it ?

I would probably cross them over at 80Hz...

If you want to make them sound 100x better, I would get an external amp for them...

hey my bad on the other thread ok but I have an amp on them is a 301x 40rmsx 4 at 4 ohms is that ok and also set them to 80 on hpf and how about the low pass that has built in where do I set it too thanks

You want to set the high pass for 80Hz on the front amp...you don't need to worry about the LPF for the fronts, that's what you set your sub to.

Don't just throw random tweeters into your system, it's stupid and not good for a balanced system. If anything, save your money and look into replacing the fronts with some good components...

hatin' on the coaxials //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I would probably swap the Bostons out for DIY comps, but I don't see myself keeping the van long enough to make it worthwhile...

If desert heat has any more the Aura MR series he had are amazing @165... plus they are technically a coaxial... so they are easy to mount but they do come with crossovers...
