Re: xs 2500 Xover

Let the HU handle everything just to make sure your roll off is the same rate and the same alignment/crossover type (LW, BW etc). If you filter your low pass at the HU and again at the amp, technically you are creating a steeper rolloff for the low pass stop band. The stop bands above the low pass b...

Re: Need a good SQ 12

I'm with Stipud. (I really just posted to say that). Pop it out of the box and play it with the volume down is the easiest first step. Could be tons of easy fixes. Unless you got paper like that, than f it, go buy a new ti sub! :lol:

Re: Need a good SQ 12

btw you can simulate the sub in your car too if need be using Audacity. Rip a track from a cd that you play in the car or use any audio file of a song and open with Audacity, highlight the whole track (edit menu; select all). Then from the Effect menu select LowPass Filter, enter the frequency you r...

Re: Need a good SQ 12

Hold on man... figure out what this tapping is first! Are you sure you're not clipping? Is your signal feed good? Take the sub out of the box and play it free air (at a slightly lower volume) and see if you can figure out what's causing the noise. x2 My RSDc 12 is 4 years old and still rocking hard...

Re: What's your take?

That mini DSP looks awesome by the way. I've got a set of tower speakers I plan on converting to bi amp with active xover, and for what I'd spend on an average analog filter unit I think this may be worth the extra few $$.

Re: Bass Cube problem.... not about the remote, lol

The outer metal part is how the ground reference signal/shield is received by the device. You can probably try sliding it back on, but those jacks are very inexpensive and pretty simple to remove/replace so I would just replace it. Some googling and a few practice runs with the soldering iron should...

Re: Music

For starters, who gives a fuck about cassettes? If you were an audiophile back then, then well into the late 80's you were still buying 12" singles and/or LPs. It was the norm to have a single mixed and mastered specifically for the 12" release vs the cassette singles/album and LP if spac...

Re: Question about partially using passive xover

Before you consider getting a ZX250, consider a ZX450 instead. Then use one ZX450 for the left, and one for the right. You can choose to bridge them, or not, and you get the most configuration options, plus true dual mono for the best stereo separation. I like this option a lot actually, very good ...

Re: Question about partially using passive xover

bridging the amp would mean you use the pos left and neg right of the front, and the same for the rears. Right, but that would be a mono-bridge. I was asking for clarity on the stereo bridge. Thanks though. what ttocs said is how you'd achieve a stereo bridge. The amp's front L+R would be bridged t...
