Annnnd we're back up!

pm.

AWESOME!!!

lol, You could literally spend an entire work shift or two researching running active. You don't have to use six channels. As I stated, I recommended it for its flexibility. Controls, are you friend in the game of running active. I believe the Leviathan has some odd 12 different configurations? lol. And, it's an absolute power house at an extremely small foot print. To put it in lamen terms. The easiest way for me understand running active. Is if you were to simply replace your stock speaker locations, and utilize them. You could use the leviathan and bridge each pair. So ch1 and 2 would be your tweets, ch2 and 3 would be your midrange, then ch5 and 6 would be your midbass. At this point, you would use your available crossovers, either via the amp, your new radio, or an external processor. What this means, is that, ch1 and 2 would play everything from 4.5khz and up, ch3 and 4 would play 300hz to 4.5khz, and ch5 and 6 would play everthing from 300 and below. Now, I emphasize, this is just an random example I pulled out of my head while typing this, just to give you a stepping stone sort of speak. I hope this helps.

Starts with Six, ends with Fifteen...

For me, I've always set my settings at their "maximum" listening state. Because, the state of listening, can always change. And you always want to be able to turn down, not up.To give an example, you would set your gain level on your amplifier while the bass level on your headunit is set to zero (car on).That way, when you're driving under normal conditions, you can set the sub level on your headunit to -3 in this example. So when a buddy gets in for a demo, all you have to do is set your sub level on your radio back up to 0. Why leave something on the table? You can set so that at full tilt you are clipped like hell. Just use the volume control to compensate.I'm not sure I'm following? Lol.My advice for the OP is to simply set his gains to where they will be set at his maximum listening levels. That way during day to day listening, if he doesn't want to go balls to the walls with bass in particular, he can simply turn down the bass level on the radio up front, rather than parking on the side of the road, run to the back, and adjust gain levels. When you say use the volume control to compensate, I'm "assuming" that you're under the impression that if you wan less bass, then simply turn down the volume. The problem with this, if this is indeed what you meant to convey, is that, the volume knob in this example would be the master volume, in which case, not all users want a to turn down all sound at the same db level. I know many people that would simply listen to a good output level for the mids and highs, and only want enough bass to perform as simply as an subwoofer fill (enough bass to just know it's there), rather than drowning out the rest of the system. It's really hard to explain via text via mobile lol. Basically, some ppl just want moderate mids and highs with just a tad of bass added. I wouldn't ever separate gain setting on the sub from the front stage.My comment was you want headroom on the knob, so not your maximum but in a state that would be able to exceed it. Just have to beware. Ah ok, makes sense now for your comments. People whom I communicate wouldn't want 155db every time they wanted to hear some music. That is why most people, again, local to me, separate their bass from their front stage.

all the pics in this build log show for me... so not sure whatcha talking about lol

nice job man

I hope you have the processing power to use said speakers...

wow. Alllllll that work! GONE! I can't believe that man... What is the plan next?

seen it on youtube

as far as your front stage is concerned, if you'd "want" to, you could grab some raw drivers from a site like Madisound, and grab an amp like the Zed Levithan, then an headunit like the Pioneer 80prs. I say this because, it would offer you a lot of flexibility, and would be an robust system to allow some le-way when installing if you're not familiar with full active systems.

WOW, I can't believe this build hasn't gotten a even more response, great job on all the updates! Seems like someone got stung by the bass bee BIG time lmao! wow. I would love to hear that setup now!

Awesome!!

There is a TON of thread already in regards to those speakers here. Just use the search function, please.

The BL would be a great choice.

Once the soft part development begins, will you begin tooling basket for ALL subwoofers sizes?
