Need some DSP ideas
If you are using an existing component set, try and match the comp sets current xover settings, usually found on the web site or in the manual. Start with 24db and play around see what you prefer.
If you can't fint the xo points, tweeter can be usually between 2khz and up, usually not more then 8khz. If you want to start at 2khz, I suggest unplugging all the other drivers and only listening to them while you turn up the volume slowly and see how they take a xover that low. It might be wiser to cut them off at 4khz instead, safer. I woudn't go much higher as the mid might not be able to play that high well.
I would start off at 4khz high pass for tweet, same lp for the mid, and hp the mid at around 80hz.

Alrighty then, I set up the time alignment and crossovers, played around with the slopes until it seemed a little more pleasing to my ears, then proceeded to run it through an auto EQ session. I am truly impressed with this feature. I was highly skeptical that an electronic device could ever produce an equalizer curve anywhere even near correct, but I was wrong. Other than having to play with the bass a little, which is purely my personal taste to have a strong bass presence, this feature hit it right on the nail. I will progressively tweak the settings a little, but man it is very close. The overall sound quality is awesome, a night and day difference from before the eq session.
I think that I may be able to split the midrange output from the DSP back at the amps and incorporate the dome mids into the system. My Clarion DPX1001.2 amp has a low pass filter that is adjustable from 55hz up to 550hz, that should cut the higher frequency out of the mid bass drivers, then simply hi pass the dome mids on 2 channels of the 4 channel amp to cut the middle bass out of the domes mids? I didn't realize that this amp had such a variable crossover on board as it is currently not installed. What do you think, could work or no?
