I've been looking into a nice crossover for my new setup... anyone on here used behringer for crossover duties?

I was looking into this unit
Behringer DCX2496

for under 650 before taxes... anyone think it'd be worth a shot?

I have one in my impala rigth now. Its an awsome peice, very fast to tune with due to the dial wheel.

However. I have had the hardest time with the 12volt conversion, and noise.

Powering it is fine, but engine noise thought the wazzooo.

I have built a few different power suplies and even used the power supply out of my ranes (that had no noise) and still have issue's .

I have even tried using a 12-120v convertor and had no luck.

Still modifing.......some day I'll kill the noise.

^ I dont know what youve tried... but it sounds to me like you need to build a DC-DC isolated supply first... then run your switching supply off of that....

Good to know... I have a behringer GEQ3102 that I've done the PS on, and I'll try out this one as well. what I may end up doing is making a nice isolated DC supply using some big diodes and some capacitors, see if I can get that to be noiseless.

I've been reading some posts online, and some people have had good success with using 2 of the ID power supplies in parallel.

Behringer is good stuff.

Cheap for what you get....a tad noisy but excellent stuff.

I like my 4XS though...dead quiet.
