United States Post Number: 43 Registered: Nov-05 | I was planning on buying some Ascendant Audio 6.5 midwoofers and some tweeters to have an active front stage. Right now I already have a Premier P880PRS Head unit and a Zapco Ref. 360.4 amplifer. Would this be a good idea or should I just buy a component set? |

Here is a pretty good review Dang did: http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4814 They came out shining, and that's not even with the price taken into consideration. |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 2509 Registered: Jan-06 | chances are you cnat because your HU probly doesnt have a Xover for the tweeter, and then the midbass. so get the audiocontrol |

Bronze Member Username: Derick06Texas, Rio G... United States Post Number: 46 Registered: Nov-05 | I think it does because the manual says it has a switch to use it as a 3 way network. And in the manual it says that when this switch is activated i have control over the highs, mids, and lows. |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 2524 Registered: Jan-06 | i couldnt find the x-over specs on it but look in the manual and see what you can do if so go for it |

Bronze Member Username: Derick06Texas, Rio G... United States Post Number: 48 Registered: Nov-05 | yeah i read over it and i think it should work. now i need some tweeters that will work with this setup. I was looking at these: http://www.madisound.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?exact_match=yes&product=SEA&cart_id=3 93216.12042 The only problem I see is that the each midwoofer and each tweeter will only see 50 watts rms assuming that the tweeters are 4 ohm. what would you all suggest and thank you for all your help. |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 2528 Registered: Jan-06 | those seas should be nice, also check out the peerless. partsexpress.com and look at the vifa tweets aswell. 50rms for the speakers isnt to much but iv heard they are pretty efficiant so i think youll be alright. or maybe go with the daytons off partsexpress.com |
