[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8616489, member: 650438"] No your sony is a basic head unit with zero crossover functions. The JVC is 3 way network capable and has more EQ bands. Literally the only thing the sony has over it is the 40 watts x 4 internal amp and 5 volt pre-out vs 4 with the jvc. Otherwise the Jvc outright destroys that sony in terms of actual audio tuning capability. The 80 prs is not the only active capable head unit on the market dude. PS all the crossovers you talk about its called running active aka active networks. There is ZERO chance you should ever run super tweets and pro audio mids without going active if you even moderately want something decent sounding. Otherwise its just gonna sound like complete sh*t at higher volumes. The included crossover for all super tweeters is pretty trash. In order to make super tweeters sound like silk domes, you need a MUCH higher crossover point and a MUCH steeper slope. The included crossovers are usually 5000khz at -12 db which is trash because super tweeters generally have an extremely harsh peak at 5000-8000hz. Usually requires a 10khz at -18 db slope to tame. PA mids usually play a lot higher than SQ style mids so you'll have mids playing tweeter frequencies, you definitely need a mid low pass to prevent that as well. Things the sony you have is not ever capable of. Your current option is to return the PA mids and get a set of bi ampable components like a rockford t2 set and use both amps OR swap the head unit and run active using both amps. 4 channel briged to the mids 2 channel for the tweeter. these are the JVC's crossover functions [IMG]https://snag.gy/jazcJ7.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
