Posted September 30, 201113 yr I'm just looking to hear what other people's preferences are about full range / component speakers. My system is getting installed next week and after MAJOR hassles trying to get Memphis to send the right speakers and amps I'm going with all Infinity (a mix of components, full ranges, and an amp. With 2 15" LIs and cadence amp for bass).I've had Infinity speakers before and liked them quite well for the price, but I hear lots of people say they are too loud on the highs and have no midbass (with a definition of midbass being below 100hz). To me full range speakers should not go below 100hz, and in fact I've often put in bass blockers at the 100hz level. I think a good subwoofer should play up to 120hz - 200hz depending on your setup and preference and the full ranges should take over from there be quite bright above 100hz so as to not get drowned out by bass. What does everyone else like and how have you liked setting up your systems in the past?
September 30, 201113 yr Why do you care what others like when you are what matters?Just an FYI. Full ranger refers to a single driver that plays the whole frequency spectrum (sub-bass usually excluded, but not always) and not a component set. That being said, I think your goals and plan is nuts. In a perfect world your front stage would play all of the frequencies meaning no need for a sub or any other drivers. That is not so easy to execute in a car though so you "get" to make compromises.
September 30, 201113 yr There's no way in hell I'd cross my sub higher than 70Hz, but like was already stated, if you like it like that, go on and do it and screw what everyone else likes.
September 30, 201113 yr Author Yeah, I'm going with what I like either way. I'm just interested to hear how other people prefer to setup their systems.
