Hello everybody,
Just got a brand new SONY MEX-N5100BT for Xmas and I would like some advice on setting it up.
Whats the best X-over settings for listening classic & hard rock, heavy metal music?
My Vibe Slick A1 is powering a 300W Kicker Comp sealed sub, the HU is driving the front Hertz speakers.
My Hertz DCX165's are located at the front doors and "handling" on paper 60z-20khz. Doors are not treated, sealed etc. I currently use the X-overs on the HU and have them flat on the Vibe A1 amp.
XO for the Hertz's is set on 80Hz with the steepest slope available on 18Db, my 12" Kicker sub is set on 60Hz with a 12Db slop. I'm just wondering if I am losing a lot of the mid range between 80 and 60Hz (underlap).
Should I set both X-overs at 80Hz with the steepest slopes available @18Db?
I've read that I shouldn't use anything less than 100Hz on 6,5" coaxial speakers if I like them to play loud! Is this correct?
I am after sound quality and not street beating. I've also read, not to have a "gap" in frequency because I'm losing notes. I suppose everything is down to everyone's personal taste!
Can you please advice me what would be ideal for listening the above genres?
Cheers all!
