what i'd do there is talk to alteraudio about running thoes drivers off the ES300 3 way crossover. unless you went completely active, i think it'd be hard to tie thoes together having passive components and active mid bass added on...

second thought on the ES300 crossovers...you can't bi amp on thoes crossovers, so whatever power you put on the inputs would go to all drivers, tweeters, woofers and thoes 8 inch subs....you'd prob need more power to thoes 8's.

passive means your using thoes physical crossover boxes that come with component sets to divide frequencies and determine slopes.

active means you use a seperate channel of amplification for each driver and you use the crossovers in the amplifiers or HU fo set the frequencies and slopes. just gives you more flexability and your not limited by the physical limits of the passive components.

here in my country ALOT of ppl use home/house midbass drivers in their cars & it sounds good . Reason they use these brands like
RCF
EMINENCE
SELENIUM
B&M
CIARE
18 SOUND etc

is that they play freq around 75hz-3hz loudly & r way cheaper (like a 6" eminence alpha runs around $30 each)than using components costing 100s of $$$

& 2 play the high freq ppl use "bullet" type house tweeters as well ESPECIALLY in sound offs ....

you can use the 3 way passive crossovers on it as they don't have tweet protection mode and can handle a lot of power but I would say use a combination of your 8445 to help control your crossover points. Since most amps don't have a built in bandpass crossover capability I would use the 8445 crossover to bandpass your component set's midrange woofer and run the EF-8 active. I would put the component set on the "High" RCA of the HU and at the crossover have the highpass at say 200 or 250hz. The component set will play 200-250hz to 3.15khz on the midrange woofer and 3.15khz and up for the tweeter. Than hook the amp for the EF-8's on the "mid" RCA and bandpass them at say 63hz and 200hz so the EF-8s only play that frequency range and then use the "Low" RCA on your subs.

chit u guys r right i would need an X-over... i was going to just run it off the sub channel n the comps of the the Front output......

first tell me this r those subs single 4ohm


okay so ur saying get a 3 way x-over run the highs for the comps, mids for EF-8's, lows for Subs

cuz i need dual 2 or 4 doesnt matter with that amp 250x2 or 500x1

an rovin i dont realy want a midbass so to say....but a secondary sub....that can play upperbass an when i dont want to be loud all the time i can just run those u know......

i need to get back on aim.....my mom is bn g@y n took my computer an hasnt done whut she said an still hasnt given it back an i cant get it on this comp.

killer dont you have an eclipse radio? if not, get one or get a 3way electronic crossover like the Audiocontrol units. or you can control it if you have an amp that can do it for you like a 5channel amp. And the EF8's are single 4ohm. And since you want subwoofer control you need something with a gain knob or volume knob if you want it to play independt of your other subs.
