Posted October 30, 200816 yr I was wondering if I should get an outside crossover and eq or combination of them for my truck, I am using the active crossover on my H/U clarion dxz-785usb, it has Digital time alignment on it and 18 db slope 3 way crossover in the deck. I am running my front channel to my tweets @ 3500 hz then running my dual 5.25 in the door of the rear channel ran @ 90hz and up then sub channel @ 90hz and below Would I improve my SQ buy adding and eq/crossover to the mix or is the head unit alone good enough. It sounds good now, just wish I had a little more control over the freq.
October 31, 200816 yr What control do you not have that you want?First thing I'd under and/or overlapping your current drivers. I'd also try playing with different phase combinations.
October 31, 200816 yr hows the clarion working out for you? im considering it because you can find them for around 200 bucks vs a pioneer 880 for like 300... so i could get more deadening or better speakers with the savings...

October 31, 200816 yr No, it's used, but it works like a dream. I understand what you're saying though, a warranty is always a nice thing to have.

But blows the kenwood excelon out of the water.

I'd also try playing with different phase combinations.Thats what I am still learning to do s the lapping of the freq, I am wanting a little more control I think. I am wanting to switch out to a ported single 12 and a couple of 8's for midbass and have them bandpassed but I still to working with real sound quality. Always been ghetto fabulous before now. I have stepped up my game for this go around. I have some pictures I'll post when I get it done. I was going to start a build log but I am about done now. Ill post what I have and what I am still working on
