Question on Wiring/compatibility

Nope...same thang.

Component usually just means seperates.

I think "component" really refers to an individual driver. Like, a subwoofer; kinda general more or less, but the term "components" (with an S) usually means a set of tweeter and woofer.

I'm thinking aloud...

yup component would indicate a separate driver as opposed to something like a coaxial or a box with the subs in it already etc.. it's just the raw driver.
'components' are separates, where the tweeter and midrange are separated using an external crossover module instead of being an all in one package like coaxials are.

a tweeter can be crossed over at different ranges depending on what it rolls off to, and the type of tweeter but many are in the 3500Hz range, however he has separates with their own crossovers if I recall, so all he needs to do is block bass from the midrange, which would be at about 100-80Hz or there abouts. 80 is usually fine and any sub will cover below that.

silk dome separates eh? what are you looking to spend?

Uhh...2-300? I think I'm just going to buy some of the Infinity Perfects though...unless you've got a better idea--which you probably do.

Also, how much did your EQ cost? The alpine one...

which one? the 3339? with the lights and all in the jeep?
I have two 3339s and a 3401 sitting here.
the 3339 retailed for like $500 new.
they haven't made it since about 1992

hey if you like the perfects go for it. you can attenuate the tweeter via the crossovers they come with if you feel they're too bright.

Does that mean they're looking for a new home?

If not, know anywhere I could get one? Either model. I just want something a with a little more depth than the head unit's EQ.

uhh figure out what you want first.
they are totally different EQs
one is an 11 band graphic eq, and one is a 7 band parametric

check ebay

Is it possible to put in a LPF after an amplifier (to further limit the hz) if the crossover on the amplifier isnt what you wish it to be? Also, what is a "marine subwoofer" or "marine amplifier"?

Thnx!

marine subwoofers and amplifiers are made for use in boats... but i doubt theres a whole lot of difference, other then someresistance to water.
