Posted February 1, 200817 yr I have an opportunity to buy either. full bodies or mini. I am planning to go full. but my question is:1. Is it worth the extra money to get the pro instead of the cd1e?2. Will i notice a significant difference?I plan to use a passive crossover that i will make (from schematics the ID tech gave) but will be EQing using my eclipse cd7000(7band peq).iirc i can only use passive on the cd1e and not the pro. correct? I dont think my deck has a fancy enough dsp to handle the pro?...or am i wrong?thanks. oh btw id like for them to play down to 1kish. my mids are hertz hsk 165s if it matters.
February 1, 200817 yr Author yeah thats what i thought . i know the cd1e can be ran on the passives with no issues. but the pros will have disputes.
February 1, 200817 yr "can be" and should be aren't anywhere near the same thing. If you designed passives specifically for them and the drivers you are blending them with fine, but if you are using off the shelf passives I don't think you will like the results.

It will be far from "off the shelf"...it will be an inline passive just for the horn. the mids will be controlled actively through deck. Edited February 1, 200817 yr by Megalomaniac

Non-off the shelf or custom would be done with in situ measurements in the specific mounting locations. I would highly, highly recommend not using horns passive.
February 1, 200817 yr Author so i need a fancier DSP? you got some recomendations? I was looking at a 360.2, i liked the idea of controlling it via pda/laptop
February 1, 200817 yr Author 701 more than id like to spend with the controller. especially since im only doing 3way.how bout the ppi730?
February 1, 200817 yr Author ok i read some more. if i get the Pro. i wont have to eq as much as if i had cd1e(since the cd1e is peizo driven). so i think i will get the pros, and play with them. and if need more processing i will buy one. Edited February 1, 200817 yr by Megalomaniac
