In the process of tuning still, so no curves for my system just yet.
Just a question, I have tweeters on my dash.What frequency should I highpass at.I currently have them at 2k Hz
The 2 k is the highest setting on the head unit.Some time this week , I will set crossovers properly on the amp using a voltmeter, thinking around 4.5- 5 k because that's where my mids drop off.Brian Steele wrote:timelapse wrote:100 hz sub im guessing.

At the moment, there's two filter settings on both the subwoofer and the front speakers.
Subwoofer
=========
Amplifier: 120 Hz 24dB/oct low pass
Head Unit: 160 Hz 12dB/oct low pass
Front Speakers
==============
Amplifier: 70 Hz 12dB/oct high pass
Head Unit: 100 Hz 12dB/oct high pass
The filter points were chosen based on:
1. The raw measured response of the subwoofer and front speakers measured in-car
2. To limit power to the front speakers while still getting decent mid-bass up front.
3. To get as good phase tracking as possible between the sub the front speakers.
Note that electrically, none of them "match".
I still have a bit of work to do on the phase tracking as I'm getting some cancellation at 200 Hz, but I suspect that's due to the "bump" that shows up in the subwoofer's response in-car around that frequency. I really need to invest in a good DSP, LOL.
Too answer your question about the tweeters, basically the same (or similar) guidelines apply, i.e. filter frequency and slope should be chosen based on:
1. The tweeter's in-car response curve (and what you're trying to achieve)
2. To limit power at lower frequencies (don't want to blow the tweeter)
3. To get good phase tracking between the tweeter and the rest of your system.
That said, 2kHz sounds kind of low for a dash tweeter.

And type of vehicle?
For reference, my install is in a Honda fit hatch

why cut so high at 160hz - mamoo eh like midbass in his music ? , if ur sub is playing from 80h down or even 100 thats a fair chunk of frequencies missing there

Nah nah. In my system i play with the eq a lil, i put it at 125hz,i downloaded a free rta app for my phone, i know that is anything but accurate,however i got a fair understanding of where my peaks are at when i played the pink noise and i reduced them a bit, sounding plenty better.Rovin wrote:but u eh say if EQing solved ur issues

Based on my neighbor over de road, fellas using 10s for midbass on their back dash.But to answer the other fella, if that's what you looking for, go with the faital, or Xfire if you know team2lo2flo/fuzz. Dem xfire loud af with good tone.
Chalk and cheese.Xfire has both car speakers and pro audio speakers.I'd personally go with the car audio speakers.Unless you rather sounding like a mike manJeremy09 wrote:Those xfire looks good. Wonder how they compare to the fitalstimelapse wrote:Rovin wrote:but u eh say if EQing solved ur issues

Highly doubt all pro audio sounds like a mic lol there must be one that can equally get loud and sound greattimelapse wrote:Chalk and cheese.Xfire has both car speakers and pro audio speakers.I'd personally go with the car audio speakers.Unless you rather sounding like a mike manJeremy09 wrote:Those xfire looks good.

Compared to 18 sounds , how does it competeRovin wrote:not to sound bias cause i selling it but ORION CTM6 sounds damn good
its not like a typical narrow range pro audio speaker but its a car audio speaker that sounds like a loud component & as though it has a tweeter & already been EQed , its that good
even though i also carry faital , ds18 & timpano , though they might be louder around midrange freqs but IMHO none sounds as nice as this orion
i invite anybody to come listen to it & report here if what i saying is true or not ....
