Is a kicker kx3 a good crossover to use?

[Duran 387]

Good for what?

[pmureika 31]

Good for what?

I mean using it as a crossover between tweeters and mids not active.

[ssh 924]

No.

[pmureika 31]

No.

What do you recommend?

[ssh 924]

No.

What do you recommend?

Something really expensive would probably do the trick, just to cover all bases.

Why don't you give us a little more information as to what exactly your trying to accomplish, and provide a budget.

So your only using two types of speakers, 2-way.

Check out the rockford 360.2. It requires a laptop with bluetooth / pda bluetooth / etc for tuning though.

You may find it easiest to get a head unit that's capable of doing the processing. Others will have to talk about which models do what, that I do not know.

So a equalizer wont work.

[ssh 924]

An equalizer allows you to attenuate and boost bands / sections of the frequency range.

A processor may be capable of multiple things: Time Alignment, EQ(equalizer), digital crossover system for speakers (crossover points and slopes), and some have their own "auto tune" algorithm.

You need to be able to apply filters to your speakers, so speaker A plays from x to y, and speaker B plays from y to z. BASIC description.

So isnt a processor what i need for my application

Yes, but the kicker kx3 is limited to what it can filter.

If you have to ask, running active probably isn't for you.

Tuned in. Curious about the same thing.

The most popular radios for running Active are the PRS units from Pioneer Premier.

800PRS

880PRS

P99RS

and the new 80PRS.

All can run active and have a minimum 16Band L/R separate adjustable EQ.

Finding a headunit that can do it is the cheapest way you'll get it done.

ok thanks

[smashedz28 110]

I have a premier head unit that has a bunch of time alignment eq and a ton more I have been tweaking it for years. I actually find it kinda useless. Once I enable the time alignment it turns to shit no matter what I do. Maybe something's not set up right?

The less T/A and EQing you need the better, but unless your setup is perfect, it should help. That is if you use it correctly.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

The problem with most of these units is the user has really no idea what to do.

You need to understand what you are trying to accomplish and how to go about it properly before doing it. If you are asking on the forum, you shouldn't be. You should be reading information, then working towards the goal, then asking for help if lost.

It also helps to not be broke. If you want to do something, do it right. If you can't afford to do it properly, wait until you can. If you are unemployed, quit looking at buying audio equipment.
