    My first "Active" "SQ'ish" build attempt.

    Your tweeters are in your sail panels right? Do you prefer them up high like that? Have you tried relocating them closer to your mids?

    Diamond audio hex series. Sizing question

    So I've been looking at the h600a from diamond audio but I'm confused on the size. One website says 6.5", another one says only 6" and Crutchfield says it's 6 3/4“. Soooo.... Which is it? Anyone?

    Morel Maximo 3way or tempo 2way?

    Getting ready to upgrade my front stage and I noticed I can get the 3way maximo for about the same price as the 2way. I know subjectively 3way is better, but I believe the build quality and frequency handling of the tempos would be a little better than the maximo. Would it even be noticeable...

    What is the most SQ 3way, and why?

    Agreed. I'm just getting back into audio aftwr a good 10 year hiatus and I have a very entry level set of components on an entry level Amp but I paid more attention to proper mounting and sound deadening this time and it sound pretty damn decent. Better than anything I had back then. I remember...

    Installer ditched passive xover, but it's not active either

    Best part, they were going to charge me 100.00 just to show me where they were mounted. He said if the crossovers aren't there, his installer get fired. But if they are there, I have to pay a 100.00 labor fee for taking apart my doors again. Crazy. Luckily they were mounted under my dash by the...

    Installer ditched passive xover, but it's not active either

    Just left the shop, the crossovers are there they were just in the kick panels. Why they told me that they didn't use the crossovers is beyond me. I almoat got this guy fired. 😂

    Installer ditched passive xover, but it's not active either

    Quick side note, the 4channel was purchased because I was running coax in the back. Wasn't until after I got it that I realized imaging was better without them. I used to hear about it all the times years ago but never fully understood. Now I do. So no, definitely not running active off of that...

    Installer ditched passive xover, but it's not active either

    Just some powerbass 2xl comps on a powerbass 4ch. He said they didn't need the crossovers because they get crossed over in the amp. Still doesn't make sense to me. I'm surprised the tweeters haven't blown if they're getting a full signal. Even if I hpf it on the head unit, or even just the amp...

    Installer ditched passive xover, but it's not active either

    So I took my doors apart today to check the xover setting on the passive network because I've been having to drastically cut my eq settings so I was curious if they had it set to a positive dB slope and maybe that's why everything sounded so harsh but come to find out they didn't even use the...

    Appropriate time to upgrade signal strength?

    Indeed. I've narrowed that down to some Morel tempos or hertz cento.

    Appropriate time to upgrade signal strength?

    When and why would you want a signal higher than 4 or 5 volt preouts? For instance my pioneer head unit has 4v preouts, and I know signal strength is important so I was thinking about buying an audiocontrol overdrive to boost signal strength but would it even be noticeable? As far as sound...

    Setting gains with phone volume

    Oh OK. Thanks. One under max sounds reasonable

    Setting gains with phone volume

    Horrible title, I know. Sorry. Anyway.. Setting gains on my Amp, should I treat my phone the same as my HU and only put volume at 2/3 or can I max out volum on my phone? I never play my music with phone volume maxed out anyway, but just curious if the gains would be correct if the volume isn't...

    My first "Active" "SQ'ish" build attempt.

    Cool man thanks I'll check it out. I did see it listed once for under 200.00 but I've had my eye on the audiocontrol d-800.4 for a while. Not sure what I'll do yet. I might just keep saving my money until I can get the audiocontrol. Good Amp with built in dsp. Buttttt... For under 200 I could go...
