Passive Xover or direct....

[velodyne82]

To all ICE hardcore,:regular_smile:

I'm an ICE newbie and I m planning to install my new ICE.With 1x2ch power amp for my front 2 way component set, is it advisable for me to use a passive Xover??
Im using JVC KDG-615 HU.


second question:
1xjvc HU 2 (preout)
2x2ch power amp
2xsub
2 way component set(for front only,ignore back)

Do i need any component that i missed out??

Pls advise,cheers:X-:

Yup, should use back the passive crossover.

advisable to use the passives... unless your HU can go active....

 

[velodyne82]

i dunno about your HU... but there are only a few high end HU tht can do this... mostly are 1k++ HU... check your HU manual for the info...

active is you can control your tweets and mids frequency cut off point manually... so when you are runninng active you dun hav to use the passives... search the thread for more info... cuz i am very kame in explaination... sorry....

cheers...

Minimum req... 1 4ch + 1 2ch amp or 3 2ch amp... but you only have 2 x 2ch amp..

oldskolboyz,

U see, i m running only a pair of 2 way component set, n 2 subs. so my configuration would be:

Amp A(2ch)>2 way passive xover>2 way component spk

Amp B(2ch)>2 sub:regular_smile:

so, is this setup reasonable??
cheers

What I mean earlier.. Full active set-up.. either direct from HU or using e/cross.. that the min req. for amp. If I not mistaken your HU don't have built in crossover.. Your plan is basic set-up... not a prob at all unless your amp don't have built-in crossover, phase adjustment & sub sonic filter..

HU can run full active direct from HU.. Alpine 7998 (3way), Clarion HX-D2 (4way)
