I'm thinking about using the behringer mic2200 for HPF and PEQ etc for the HT to handle the extra sub processing I will need, any other hot ideas?

Borrow mine . B&K though not that cheap stuff.

Really, what do you want to measure?

I will measure later I have a feeling in room it's going to be a nightmare. That unit(the MIC2200) is just to have a HPF and some EQ capability, it's not an actual MIC

ULTRAGAIN PRO MIC2200

2-Channel Tube Microphone Preamplifier/Line Driver/DI Box

Features

Discrete mic/line input stages with soft mute +48 V phantom power

Ultra-wide bandwidth from 2 Hz to 200 kHz for open sound

Two fully parametric EQ’s with adjustable center frequency, bandwidth and level

Built-in high-quality vacuum tube for outstanding, ultra-musical tube sound

Fully tunable and switchable 12 dB high-pass filter

Phase reverse switch per channel

Level conversion (-10 dBV to +4 dBu) and DI box functionality

The MIC2200 is the ideal extension to your console, MIDI setup or hard disk recording system. Its integrated parametric EQ’s give you extra sound-shaping power, while its built-in tube adds warmth and transparency to your signal.

Ah, thought MIC2200 was a mic. Silly me.

Btw Aaron/Mark the automatic skin chanhe to lofi for the crackberry is the sweetness!!

Indeed. It is pretty kickass.

When I go 3G on my touch pro 2 I will be super mega ultra happy with the lo-fi I bet.

Fast even on GSM

I've liked Morel MDT 21's for tweets.

Hugely off axis?

Oops, Didn't see off axis.

[///M5 2,833]

I'd probably sell you my LPG's if you go that route.

If you could find the Alpine/vifa xt19 it is pretty damn nice off axis as well

I'm really so confused on what tweeter to pick. I know i enjoyed t-rav's midrange, but I don't know how it would react in my truck, but I know that Sean has experience with it in his truck but when it comes to the tweeter I don't know what the difference is going to be.

I don't really know wether I would like be to optimized for midrange or midbass.... no idea what so ever

by the way, post in the thread so other people can read the info as well

I would have, but you already stated my rec'd or one of anyways and didn't want to be the first to post.

ER18, peerless exclusive, usher 8945 would all "fit" nice

It says the ushers frequency range is only to 8000

Puke, I wouldn't use it much above 2k but would probably pass it first order maybe even starting around 1.2k

uh, no thanks

I pulled a muscle in my back last night. I did this while WATERING the lawn. I really really wanted to call into work sick today.

This is BS my body is falling apart. When my back gets better I am going to go health crazy. I won't let my being a fat ass exasperate my health issues.

A Russian woman has set a new world record, lifting a 14-kg. glass ball with her vagina muscles. Tatiata Kozhevnikova of Novosibirsk, aged 42, has been exercising her intimate muscles for fifteen years, and has already made her entrance into the Guinness Book of Records as the possessor of the world’s strongest vagina, she proudly told Life.ru.

No worries! I'll call you when it is measuring time have you over sometime for a room calibrating party..... basicaly measure stuff for 15 min and tweak teh EQ, then drink a lot and eat BGE food.

=D

speaking of smoking, I made about 14 lbs of pork butt on sunday. MMMmmmMmmmmm

I wanted to leave it in the smoker for another 2 hours, it was done, but just a bit more tender would have been ideal. having left overs for lunch today, and dinner tonight. YUM!!!

I like their DCX 2496 unit, their Tube preamp and CX2310? crossover unit kinda suck though. They work (most of the time), but thats about it. Definitely not something I would consider unless you are on a uber budget or just need something occasionally.

the dcx looks like one sweet unit. way more than I think I could ever hope to need/use for just sub management. If I understand it correctly though it would be an amazing tool to use as an in home active cross over, am I correct?

That would be fun to use as a project for a really impressive 2 chan in the living room.

When I move into the next house I hope it will have a true dedicated HT room. I would love to build a completely active enveloping experience, and maybe even go as far to build each speaker myself. Hidden huge speakers with an 18+ for bass on each chan, with extremely clear mid and highs.

:floats off into deam theater land:

I would probably end up listening to most 2 chan music with that set up however anyway.

<-- would rather run passive at home, but can surely see the benefit of using the 2496 for "trial" crossovers

Now keep in mind I've never claimed to know what I was doing...

Advantages of using a DCX unit

-Can easily change slopes, crossover points, eq, etc, etc

-Ease of prototyping

-Save multiple presets and change between them easily

-Can hook up to a computer to change settings

-Works well

-Run 3-way active

Disadvantages of a DCX unit

-Need 3 amps for 3-way, more money, cables, mess, power, etc

-You end up having a lot of money invested in equipment for something that once you figure out you won't change

-Not exactly set up the best from the factory, can mod, huge thread on diyaudio.com about it

-No true 'volume' on it, can change though with modding

-If you want to move speakers out of the room, you have no crossover since you were running active

I think a DCX is best used to get the crossover figured out, then build a passive to match and be done with it. With low signal levels it does do funny things with crossover slopes and what not too so you want to keep the levels up higher.

It is a nice and fun toy to have, but by no means is it a necessity.

My way to get around not having it in the house?

Full range and a receiver.

Agreed.

You beat me to it, I take to long to post I guess.

.... I would end up changing drivers all the dang time.

I know me. If I had the means, and the space, I would do nothing but putz around with projects like that. I don't now because I don't know enough about sound and how it all works, or what the measurements I could take would mean
