1) I'm using Kenwood U435 HU, what is the default setting on the HU to set if want to tuning the sound from amp.?
2) Is the HU LOUDNESS need to OFF or put it to highers setting when tuning the amp.?
3) Does it really need for a passive crossover for the component set is compulsory.?
4) A pre-amp or Active crossover (E-Crossover) which is better or both needed if want to have a good sound system
5) Can I bridge the amp from 4ch to 2ch to boost the component set (since I already have 4ch and only a single set of component used) and the bridged monoblock to hit the 12" woofer as well.?
6) Will the sound affected if I do fiberglass and put the component set in front door.? and do some anger of 30 degree face up center position. Just to make it nicer look compare to the tweeter original place (left and right of windscreen below)
6) My woofer sound abit weird when listening to normal music/song (means no boom-boom or punching), the woofer seems like some air hohhhh,,hohhhh sound following the music tune. Is it the woofer bass sound not divided enough or really need a E-Crossover to make it better.?
Please correct me if my statement is not clear or wrong...
Cheers,,,
1) unless you're using mid/high end HUs, id suggest the EQs/tuning to be kept minimal/none
2) off, you don't want double (or more) amping to introduce noise unnecessarily
3) component sets will include a passive crossover (otherwise it will be called coaxial speakers, NOT component set speakers), it is compulsory in a passive setup to have proper frequency filtering. in an active setup, an additional cross over and/or processor/preamp will do the frequency filtering instead
4) crossover is typically better unless you're buying a really expensive pre-amp. additionally, consider upgrading the other items/components first before even thinking on processors/crossovers/preamp
5) not much point, there is only so much power a component set speakers can take until you fry them. not to mention if your amp isnt efficient/clean, you *may potentially* introduce additional noise into the speakers
6) if you're using cheap component set speakers, not much point. money is better spent upgrading the speakers
7) you need proper low frequency filtering to the woofer. if no bass should be played, the woofer should be kept quiet.
