Better crossover, Head unit vs Amp...

Post by flogger11 »

My car is now wired, and as I wait for my ZX-500 to arrive on Monday, I cant help but think about which crossover is of higher quality, my Alpine CDA-9887's internal crossovers or my ZX-350/500's built-in ones? FYI, the ZX's have 24 db per octave crossovers while the alpine's is variable from 6 db to 24 db per octave. I have been using a combination of the two until now, but am wondering what the cleanest crossover is...
Alpine CDA-9887
PG ZX-450 v2
PG ZPA0.5 v2
Polk SR-6500 (active)
(2) PG 10" RSDC-104 (sealed)
PG PLD-1
PG 1/0, 2 Farad cap
Dynamat Extreme Door/Trunk
(Anybody have a HO alternator for a late model Accord V-6?)
