Since I'm not getting any bites for selling my amp maybe I'll changed the front stage instead?

I've got a six channel AG650 so I figured the best way to use it would be to tri-amp a components set?

Do you guys know of any sets,their costs, and pros cons of going this direction?


Thanks

If yours skills are up to par I would suggest making your own set and crossing them actively.

My skills are lacking in the crossover creation department I'm not just looking for the crossover's I'm looking for a whole new 3way component set.

If it's a 6 channel amp you have, might as well go active with a 3 way electronic crossover. Then pick and choose your own components to make a 3 way.

Wait, that's what I did. No copying allowed. [img]tongue.gif[/img] j/k

I though about doing that then I invested in a Symbilink EQ, and line driver.

Sorry, instead of using RCA's a use a Zapco symbilink cable it looks like a PS2 keyboard connector. It runs all six channles on my amp and powers all the peripherals off the amp instead of seperate power supplies. Plus it supposed to help out with voltage they say up to 16v.

No, my JL XR653cs aren't tri-ampable, and I'd hate to have wasted all that money on running symbilink to just drop it. I've really noticed a difference since switching form RCA's. The only thing a can think of is a Tri-amp set or a more powerful 2 channel Zapco.

Does the symbilink setup have selectable crossover frequencies for each set of channels? Otherwise, you may have to go passive. And I don't know of any tri-amp passive crossovers available. [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]
