Xenon 200.4 Question--Not in Xenon FAQ

This may sound like a dumb question, and I believe I know the answer, but I joined the forum (been lurking) just to ask it.

On the Xenon 200.4, there are two power inputs (and I plan to use both), but does that also mean that I need to use both remote turn-on connections?

I thought I remembered reading that both sides are connected internally, so I wouldn't think I need it, but I would like to know for sure before running my wires and putting the interior back in.

Another question I just thought of as well. On the Ti 5.25" speaker, does anybody know what frequency it can play up to cleanly? I have some Morel Piccolos to mate up with it, but if it can play up to 4khz the tweets are going in the a-pillars, if it can't, they are going in the kicks with the mids. I have 9's going in the doors, so I don't have to worry about the Ti's below 250-300hz.

Thanks for any help!

@ X200.4 question: only one remote lead connected will suffice.

The Ti 5's and 6's cross over at 3.2kHz, so making the 5 play up to 4kHz is probably within reason. Give it a shot! Hook up the tweeters on some long wires and use double sided tape to move them around

Thanks for the replies. Stipud, do you know if those mids are designed to be played on axis or off? I will play around with aiming and tweeter location a bit before I start fabricating, but having some helpful pointers in advance couldn't hurt.

Thanks for the crossover info. They are actually matched with Morel Piccolos, so I can get those as low as 2.5khz and still play cleanly if I wanted to.

Thanks again.

The Elite set was designed to play off axis, but I bet you can get more high end out of it playing on-axis in the kicks or something. On-axis, 4k should definitely be feasible.

Thanks again for the help. I chose the Elites because the approximate Morel equal (Elate) is actually designed to be in a ported enclosure (though it might not matter much since the 9's are handling the lows). I definitely plan to play around with locations and aiming, but having a head start is always helpful.

I'm not sure if linking is permitted, but if anybody is interested, I have a build log going on at DIYMA. Right now I'm still in the deadening phase (boring stuff), but plan to get to the other stuff pretty soon.
