When tuning, turn your sub off smile.gif

In fact, I'd tune the mids on their own first. Then the midbass on their own. This will help you find some limitations, then you can deal with blending them. Don't forget to try all variations of phase as well.

I did infact start my tuning just as you stated , highs first then mids. I can get the fostex to play down to 200 w/tall slope but They seem to sound cleaner, more open when I cross them up around 500- 615 with tall slope.

I personally seem to prefer a tall slope, at least a 12db slope and usally 18db, I guess its that they are more reconizable in their effects.

I ended the night yesterday with some underlap at the crossover points, seemed to help blending also.

I will start phase testing once I feel I am famillair with my set sound, problably listen with the same settings for a couple days before testing the phasing.

anything else I missed?smile.gif

Call TIPS and see if you can get Ray to build you a impedance compensator. They work great. My 6 1/2s will play down below 32 htz.

Well another day has gone by, And I will refect on the days tuning.

after my statement about the tall slopes made me think about the other end of that spetrum, SO today I moved the highs up to 1.2k with a 6db slope, and left the mid down at 500 with a 12db slope. So alot of underlap and shallower slopes.

the Fostex seemed to sound alot "brighter" and "more detailed" crossed higher with less slope.

As far as the Aura's, I am still deciding what makes the mid bass sound muddy, but will get there.

I will admit I am pretty happy with the way things are starting to sound SO I know sooner or later I will get everything REALLY dialed in.smile.gif

They worked good. I needed ones with a 1/4" hole in them to get max contact on the battery terminals so they fit the bill. I lightly criped them when I soildered them. smile.gif

On another note I am in love with my fostex's.wub.gif And I have the phasing dialed in, I have the x-over points blending, and I ALMOST done matching the gains.

WOW, the SQ is EPIC!!!!! The sound stage is AMAZING!!!!!jump.gifpartybanana.gifrockwoot.gifthanx.gifcookiemonster.gifbananaDance.gif
