Alpine cda-9887 and h701

[PTbruiser 0]

Hello everyone! Im looking at the cda-9887 and was wondering if this would be a good choice for my setup? My front stage is going to be a 8 inch midbass in each door, and a soundstream FR-60C comp. set with 6.5 inch in kick panels and the tweeters up on the sail panels just above the dash,I want the 8 inch midbass speakers to be bandpass at as low as 60 herts and as high as 400 herts, and then the comp. set to play above 400 herts. I HAVE 2 amps, (ppi 2600) one for the 8 inch speakers and the other for the comp. set. Is the crossover on the CDA-9887 adjustable so I can bandpass the 8 inch midwoofer and high pass the comp. set ? and also is the sub volume difficult to adjust? I am also looking at getting the H701 later on, what are your guys thoughts on this setup? thanks.............Brian

The 9887 can't really control the H701 and while you could sort of do what you are looking at you'd really be better off not doing it that way.

If you want to run 8's get the H701 first and don't mix them with an off the shelf comp set. Having an 8 play with a 6.5 makes no sense at all. I would also expect your 8's to play a much shallower range. 40-200 or so as you really want the midrange to do its job, which of course that big 6.5 can't.

Not sure your end goals, but I would recommend rethinking it a bit.
