x-over point?
I have Type R components up front and Type S coaxials in the rear. What would be a good high pass x-over point for them? They are powered by an Alpine MRV-F340. 55X4 rms. Thanks in advance for any input.

What slope is your crossover?
|
12db/octave.

I assume the F&R crossover points are independant?
With your variable 30-400Hz HP x-over, I'd start around 125Hz and play with it +/- until you're happy. With coaxes out back, they will drag your soundstage back so the rear setting will not be as critical as the front IMO. |
Yes they are independant. Ok I will try about 100-125hz on the front. Are you saying just leave the back full range then? Wouldn't that be worse for soundstage as more mid would be heard from the back.
|
Start at the same point for the rears too. You can probably set it at 100-125 and just forget about it. If they pop on deeper stuff, move the point up a bit. If you want a little more midbass, try lowering the freq until they can't handle it and then up it a little.

Gotcha! I was kinda looking for dead set answers but I guess it's whatever sounds good and works. Thanks for the replies.
|
It's impossible to give a dead set answer that will also give the best sound. I mean, you could cross them at 125hz and just forget about it, but I personally would listen to it, lowering the point a little at a time until they fart and then move it up a bit. Then you know they are playing as low as possible which is generally considered desirable.

:) Makes sense to me.

No, I wouldn't ever leave the back full range, or any small speaker to be exact. Do you have a sub? Guessing so, and I find that depending on how many you have and what size, the sub just takes over. I like to have more efficiency coming from the higher bass to vocals and up. A little 5 1/2 to 6 1/2's will put out little bass compared to 8's, 10's or 12's. Only case is if you have a 3 way setup, then its a different story :)
