    Going active, need an experienced hand with a few things.

    50—63—80—100—125—160—200 (Hz).... Damn it this sucks. Says 3 way crossover on the features list so i sorta get screwed... Is there any way i can keep this deck and go active? Such as an external crossover? i just want to get some amazing sound quality in this car for when im not street beating. On another note, the settings in the manual and points are identical to those of the 9800.... And i do have time alignment on my deck as well as it. So if its possible with the 9800 it must be able to as well somehow... blech i wish i knew more about headunits.

    Cold Cap, stinky coil

    Heres the dilemma, i was just driving home from my friends when i noticed a burning electrical smell from the rear of my car. When i got home i opened the trunk and proceeded to check my dustcap to see if it was hot but it was ice cold and the stink was coming from my port. The sub was playing undistorted still and is fairly new. Should i worry about this? Sub feels fine and my gains were set by ear. No noticable clipping. Any comments, advice, or otherwise would be wonderful... Thanks! Sub: RE SX 15 - 4 cuft box tuned to 34 Amp: MA HC2001 Source: Pioneer DEH-7800

    i could be wrong on its active capabilities but under audio features it shares everything with the 880 accept the burr brown decoders... 3 way crossover network is shown under features... if its incapable what would i need to make it a active setup?

    Heres the problem, i dont know if my amp "does rated" power.... Its rated at 1000RMS at 1ohm. Only fused with 2-30 amp fuses... To me that says that this amp should only be capable of 700 RMS at 12.5 due to efficiency as well. So if i were to set it with a DMM it could be dangerous. Anyone know where i can get a good deal on an O-scope?

    stock mounting locations are the tweeter at the top of the door panel pointing towards the center of the car at head height, woofers are at the bottom front of the doors directed toward the lower middle of the front compartment. Installation skills, well pops is a carpenter so he builds me whatever enclosure i want and i help but i can fiberglass fairly well due to working in the body shop a bit before i became a mechanic. Im not sure of the crossover points available as i cannot get my account on pioneer to work to get a manual for my 7800MP, would anyone else happen to know its crossover points?
