Active setup problem

[dave_Edwards 1]

what are you having the hardest time with placing? the tweets or the mids?

I would try placing the mids first....try them in 1 of 3 locations.....kicks(on and off axis).....on the dash...or maybe if you want to get custom in the pillar(you can use towels to place them up there)...........Find out which placement gives you the best imaging and go from there.

As for the tweets....I use the old velcro tape trick until they blend well with the mids....

Also remember to play around with the crossover points also.

Yeah I wish I put my tweets in the pillar to bring up the sound, I would move them but there will be holes in the doors. I'm also selling the car in two years, so I don't want holes everywhere. I guess it will suffice until I get my 3-way setup in the new ride.

I think rite now its the crossover, I really haven't had time to mess around with them and really get a nice tune on it. But should I use the para or the graphic eq. Still not sure.

I am glad I don't use my EQ.....you guys are making it too hard....I believe in the cut not boost theory.....as for your tweeters, I think you can still get a good soundstage from those locations.Place more time into crossover points and isolating the rearwave and you should have good results.

Thanks for the input. I have to spend a good amount of time this week tuning xovers.

My question still stands "I have my sub crossed at 63hz active. But my amp doesn't have a switch to turn off its crossover. Should I just turn the amp's over 63Hz and the HU will stop it at 63 anyway?"
