Passive = inline crossover network. Active = processing unit that splits the signals before they get to the amp. IE: any component set uses inline crossover networks between the amp and the speakers to split the signals between tweeter and mid. IE: Active, at the headunit (needs to be an active capable headunit) or external processor splits the signal (can manually adjust crossover points, slopes, etc) from head-unit to amp, and then you run separate channels for each driver. channel 1 left tweet, channel 2 right tweet, channel 3 left mid, channel 4 right mid

Take a step back. Why do you want to use super tweeters? Your goals are "clean and sound good," but generally super tweeters are used for their high output--not frequency response.

Whatcha looking for?Administrative, writing, photography, or management mainly.I have such a wide variety of experiences and skills, but nothing real specific or rare. J Do you have your own camera and lenses? You can do some freelance work and get a bit of cash while looking. I have both but need some more glass. Once I am out of the Army I will be picking up lenses and a new body. Freelance work near the base is little and far between. Part of me is tempted to see if I can profit from doing a music review site. It seems like 90% of the places that review and write articles about music only focus on bullshit bands, and have little to no variety. I am just curious as to how to make it profitable. Would be REAL nice to get a good web developer to work with me on this idea. J You could use Google Ads, but it would require LOTS of traffic to make worthwhile.

You found my photobucket account!

You are under the assumption that there is only black and white. An audio system that is designed to reproduce music as accurately possible cannot be "loud". An audio system that is designed to reproduce music as loudly as possible cannot be "accurate". Audio systems, just like everything else in this world, are predominately shades of grey; there is very little black and very little white. Meh. A good sounding system should be able to get loud as hell. Keeping everything sounding good means not really pushing it, so you should have a ton of head room. If you set up an accurate system you should keep the drivers and the electronics as underworked as possible. This should equate to a ton of extra power and a ton of extra driver on tap. It's also ironic that most of the setups geared for SPL (supertweeters and pa mids) sound like shit, and if they'd actually take some cues from what people consider "SQ" than they'd end up with something sounding a TON better, and still pretty fucking loud. Win win.

Looks pretty hard pressed to get more stage depth from widening the mids, specifically the left. Have you tried adding some delay to the left channel? It would be a very very small amount, or you'd start to notice the stage shifting off center.

Out of all the dunes, "here's a good spot."

Awesome.

Sean this is what you miss on TV:

It works/loads/posts just fine here. I haven't been able to log in for a while Clear cookies and cache etc.? PC has been reformatted since I last tried. You must have a virus--buy a new computer.

That was pretty sweet, but I still like this one better: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=fc1_1188589607

Calculator IBooks That's all I've added to mine.

Are those the standard width, or wider? Look huge.

Me too. Took almost a month off, and just started back up today.LoL I meant at work. Ohz. Well I'm still burnt out!

Have they announced any pricing info? I haven't seen eta or pricing yet.

Read a bad review about the in-lines causing noise.... but how about this: http://www.amazon.com/Sound-Storm-Laboratories-S4EQ-Equalizer/dp/B000O50VEQ/ref=pd_sim_e_9 Sub crossover frequency range of 30-250 Hz. Seems to be what a lot of people are buying them for, with good reviews. Not to mention extremely affordable. Wrong thing....won't let me edit. This has ssf. http://www.amazon.com/Power-Acoustik-BASS-12C-Restoration-Proccessor/dp/B003UR4RWW/ref=pd_sim_e_57 First product has a LPF, not a HPF/SSF on the subwoofer channel. Long Answer The last product has a HPF/SSF adjustable from 35hz to 80hz with a relatively shallow slope (12dB). The enclosure you linked to from SMD is supposedly tuned to 32hz, so your ssf will be a bit higher than your enclosure tuning. Whether that tuning point and/or shallow slope will work for you--I don't know. Wouldn't hurt to download WinISD, model the drivers in the enclosure from SMD, and apply the filter in comparison to ~30hz 18dB filter, and compare the frequency response and excursion graphs. Perhaps someone else can chime in, currently I don't have access to WinISD. Short Answer I would use it if I needed to be playing music soon, but it may not be the best choice. I went ahead and ordered the Harrison Labs inlines. The more I read, sounded like they'd be good for my application. Most people seemed to love them. I ordered the 30 Hz version, which should put me in the safe zone. Thanks for the input! Then you should be golden.

Funny, I was just thinking the other day about getting a Rush starman tramp stamp. Threw away the idea because I figured it would be too intricate to tattoo at that size, and because I was drinking when I originally thought of the idea. I still don't get why it was a bad idea.

In that case you should find yourself a used pair of 18" BTLs, and a few rolls of duct-tape.

Stop reading into things what you want to read and instead open your mind a bit. I was helping you with YOUR goals, not mine. I think the idea is absolutely fucking stupid. I FULLY understand your position and don't agree with any of it. My reference to doing it right was to help you maximize YOUR goals which I know has nothing to do with SQ.You really need to open your mind a bit, it'll help a ton. How do you intend to help me with my goals on a project you consider stupid? Don't reply to my stuff if you only intend to shoot it down in every aspect, I don't need that kind of input; I'm trying to have fun here, not deal with salty audiophiles who consider anything less a waste.You only point out flaws and fail to suggest any alternatives within reason. I am shit ass poor, so if you can't find a solution within that parameter, keep it to yourself. To your comment in response to my headphones weather resistance, durability is first priority over sound quality. What use is a nice sounding set if it's ruined? And what use is a set of shitty sounding speakers that are weather proof? There are things in this world that can be custom built and perform better than off the shelf, but this instance is not one of them--that is why people are not offering help to your irrational project. What makes you so sure they inherently sound like shit? What makes you so sure they won't? This isn't personal, but I have a hard time believing you can best a company's product and design by simply swapping out the drivers, and since the drivers are small they play full range fine, so processing isn't needed, right? You can buy a set of $15 Denon studio headphones on Amazon, and they will perform better in every single aspect than anything you, or I for that matter would rig up.

I rarely play games, but everytime a new console comes out I always get one. http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/05/xbox-one/ hmmmmmmm

Yeah doesn't look like you have any HPF/SSF that can work for your subs from either your deck or amp. check out Harrison labs fmod inline filters, basic 2-way adjustable crossovers, or selling the current amp and getting one with a SSF.

What's the frequency range for the high pass filter? I'm guessing it's for the front speaker channels and not sub channels. What headunit and kenwood amp are you using?
