Sweet, I finally came up with a good Idea......

Ha, Ha :)

I've got my 605 waiting to go in, I got mine from Amazon, cheapest shipped that I could find. If I get mine in before yours I'll post about it. I think that there is a review over on diyma.

Ti900.7 vs ZX475Ti

They both call for the same fuse size....Yet the Ti900.7 should put out more correct? Why is this?

Is the 900.7 just a 475/500.4 with 3 more channels and bigger power supply?

Does anybody know the actual physical difference between the 900.7 sub channels and half of the 475/500.4?

If the noise comes back can I just put the crossovers in bypass and use an external crossover or will there still be noise?

Yeah, I know about the physical abuse, thats one of the reasons I may replace my zx475 with it, what about overall power? I ask this because the 475 calls for a 80 amp fuse while the 4600 has 60 amps total.

XS4600 vs ZX475Ti

Same power ratings, I know that the ZX power supply lets it do a little more, but if I switch from the 475 to the 4600 (I might do it due to amp location) how much power am I really losing and what would I be gaining?

Its most likely a bad crossover switch or freq potentiometer on the amp. Turn the switch and/or potentiometer several times to "clean" it out, it may fix the problem for awhile. But eventually you will likely need to send in the amp for service. Well, I did your trick, along with switchin...

That's right. Determine whether the failure is cable or output. Test as you indicated. Do you have any other devices or processors between the amp and the HU? Bruce I'll swap the other stuff tomorrow, the amp has to run for a while before it happens. I have a MTX re-q between the factory head unit ...

I took it apart, let me tell you, it was a beaoch, and everything looks good. I think that it should be alright. The coaxials dont have anything for the woofer right....

Either way, its what I'm going to do.

Thanks

The Re-Q has no on/off for the subsonic filter, just an adjustment, and I cant just set it with the full range side and then switch because the sub side of the Re-Q has a higher output voltage.

Any other ideas?

I'm almost certain that the rsd crossover does not provide a lp on the upper frequency limit for the midrange. Most mids experience a natural roll off on the upper frequencies that make that type of filter unnecessary. So...you could parallel the mids and the inputs to the rsd crossovers to the fro...

Sub Sonic Filter

Something else, I'm using the Mtx Re-Q, it has a subsonic filter which has a range of 10-40hz, what should this be set to when setting the sensitivity?

your zx475ti has the crossover potential to replace the crossovers that came with your component set. each tweeter and each mid would have its own channel of amplification. of course that accounts for all the channels on the amp, but rear fill is for suckas. :wink: Yeah, I know that would work but ...

Sans crossover your woofer will be trying to play frequencies far higher than it was ever meant to play and will as such, likely suffer in the frequency range it is supposed to play. Besides that, it would leave your left/right sounding unbalanced. The ZX475Ti has a crossover, although it will be s...

I was installing my Rsd65cs today and found that the woofer out on one of the crossovers does not work, I have a few questions: How much does the crossover actually do for the woofer?
