ditch the rear component... they kill the front staging... and your woofer box make it sealed... if it is built according to the sealed enclosure size... then get a towel rolled them and stuff it on the hole to seal them... then you save your money on the box...

clean or dirty? i think it is more to can you audit the difference or not... i can't... so to me every amp with-in the same price range and power sounds more or less the same...

and i thought someone ever correct me tht the difference between SQ and SPL only involves how loud is the low sub-bass...

cheers...

your front component is runing active or passive? as far as i know prokick active crossover only can go 2/3 way... if you are running passive then you can't tune much on your front component except for the EQ... those frequency point cannot do much to it...

why not like this... try to run 2 way active... like this better and easier to tune... well if you are not really tht hardcore... then dun change anything on your setup...

cheers...

bass to front is done through the tunings mostly... easier way would be overlapping the sub frequency with the front mid frequency... and also the phase control...

3 way is a harder setup than 2way anyday... thts why i recommend you to use only 2way full active setup for a start earlier... then as you learn switch to 3way setup later...

the pre-out voltage for me i think 4v is enough... as when we are listening to music we dun use up to 4v... will jus use slightly around 2v... unless when the bass comes in hard and loud then it will use till 4v or more...but believe me this is very rare case... you can check with a multimeter to confirm this(i hav check one numerous HU thts why i am sure about it...) but contrary believe is tht bigger voltage rating is better...

as for the HU... 3 pair of RCA out doesn't mean tht it is easier to do the tuning... i have a pioneer 5750 with 3 pairs but i only use one pairs as i use the alpine 701 only allows me to use one pair of them... and i tune everything from the 701... but of cuz the 701 has 4 pairs of RCA...

so my advise is plan ahead... if you really think you really wan to run 3 way active later... then dun get HU with built in 2/3 way active crossover... get a 3/4way ones... or optionally get one HU without any crossover and and get an external crossover with 2 channel bandpass...

and as for the tweets crossover point till 1.6khz and 1khz... tht is because the HU only can go for 2/3way active... so no point for it to put the tweeter Hz till as low as 500hz... as i never encountered a twweter tht can go tht low... even 1khz i never come across... so basically its pretty useless for them to put it till so low...

and one more thing to add... it will never be perfect in ICE... but its using the most optimum point... ie. your sub... sometimes you will jus need to feed them with 100Hz in order to get an upfront bass... but 100 Hz is not low sub frequency... but who cares when they sound good...

but then i am not pro like some... correct me if i am wrong...

cheers...

there is e xover like Trutech F2 tht has 2 channle of bandpass which you can use for 3way setup...

as for processor... the 900 is not really a choice as it only can be used with the DVI-9990... other than tht its pretty much a useless thing...

cheers...

thanks for correcting me...

cheers...
