Hmm there must be an option where you can set all the LPF/HPF curves to 0 (as opposed to 12/18/24db level; run a no-filter pass), that would be the same as turning it off?

I am currently running an active setup. I am planning on going for a laptop-based RTA but will leave that for another post. :)

LPF and HPF settings

Folks, I am trying to understand abit more on the relationship between HPF and LPF of different components within my setup. I currently have my subwoofer's LPF set at 80khz (24db slope) with the midbass drivers at 80 (24db slope). This I understand would probably produce 'extra' volume within those ...

Wow interesting stuff. So in the case of detailed (as opposed to loud) what would your verdict be?

Also, what tweeters actually get low to 1.2khz? I have a morel supremo that will supposedly do 1.5khz but I can't get it to sound good at anything below 3khz.

tweeters are 4 ohms, max rms should be around 200wrms, long-term usage should be around 100wrms?

long term usage for the 7" drivers is 80wrms.

These are 7" drivers, single 8ohms. Powered by a 4-channel amp that does 60w at 4 ohms. I am not planning on bridging the channels as 2 of them will be powering my tweeters.

Eh? I am getting a little confused. So I have to wire them in series so that the amp will supply 4 ohms to the speakers?

Some wiring / speaker wattage questions

Couple of questions folks: 1. For 8 ohm speakers that are going to be drawing power from a 4 ohm amplifier, does it need to be wired differently? 2. I see a couple of posts about giving extra wattage to speakers which results in a increase in db levels. On the flip side, if I am not after SPL, is th...

so its not possible to have the 2 ohm or 8 ohm setup done at the amp instead and everything lies with the wiring of the sub in the box?
