Gold Member Username: Snarl2004Digital Design 9515, Massive Audi... Post Number: 2376 Registered: Dec-06 | I was looking to add a midwoofer to my system. I was wondering what I needed to hook up the second amp? Is it a crossover? Sorry bout the newb question I'm just new at this. Also any suggestions for midwoofers? |

New member Username: Weezer4rockPost Number: 6 Registered: Dec-07 | I suggest getting an amp with a High Pass crossover and a basic two way electronic crossover. Make sure you get an electronic crossover with at least 300Hz at the Low Pass point. Match the high pass crossover on the amp that going to your mids with that of your Low Pass sub crossover point. That evenly divides your lows. Then set the LP crossover on your electronic crossover to about 300Hz. That sends the frequency of 80Hz - 300Hz to your midwoofers. Set the high pass on the electronic crossover to 300Hz as well and send that signal to your componenet or coaxial set. Then you're in business! |

Diamond Member Username: BestmankindPost Number: 20827 Registered: Oct-05 | the setup i am thinking of is using the sx400.2 with a pair of jl audio 6w3v3's. i would customize my door or use the kick panel to house the woofers. then run it a 70-250hz. |

Diamond Member Username: BestmankindPost Number: 20828 Registered: Oct-05 | that would be sweet berny. what about the m6? you think i would be better off with the jl sub? |

Gold Member Username: BernymacCambodia Post Number: 3946 Registered: Sep-04 | the cdt m6 to me felt dead, lifeless. Mean midbass but I didn't like it. |
|
Diamond Member Username: BestmankindPost Number: 20830 Registered: Oct-05 | yeah so ima definately go with the jl 6w3v3's. it will have some kick in my kick pods. lol. |
|
Gold Member Username: BernymacCambodia Post Number: 3947 Registered: Sep-04 | Yeah definitely. I can't wait to get my car back. I'm not in a hurry for a system so I'm taking my time this year. So if you want to come and help me work on my doors come on by  |

Gold Member Username: BernymacCambodia Post Number: 3948 Registered: Sep-04 | Snarl, memphis makes a pretty nice and affordable xover, you can find them on ebay for cheap http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=page.display&page_id=14&mfg_accou nt_ID=44&category_id=11 As for midbass, depends how much you want to spend. I know how you can get any pair of cdt mids for cheap if you want to go that route. |

New member Username: Weezer4rockPost Number: 10 Registered: Dec-07 | anybody heard the Kicker ssmb6 before? just curious of how it matches up to others. Of course a lot depends on how it's installed. |

Diamond Member Username: BestmankindPost Number: 20832 Registered: Oct-05 | those actually looks nice johnathan. i personally haven't heard one but i wouldn't mind trying out a pair. the price is pretty good too. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_2543_Kicker+SSMB6.html# |

Gold Member Username: Snarl2004Digital Design 9515, Massive Audi... Post Number: 2378 Registered: Dec-06 | alright well ill decided on the amp when the time comes but crossover suggestions? |
|
Diamond Member Username: BestmankindPost Number: 20844 Registered: Oct-05 | snarl......if you buy that kicker zx amp and a xover, its gonna cost almost as much as the sx400.2. the kicker sx400.2 is selling for little over 200bux on ebay. with the sx amp, you don't need a crossover cause it has all the functions you need. |

Gold Member Username: Snarl2004Digital Design 9515, Massive Audi... Post Number: 2380 Registered: Dec-06 | ya but if i go that route how do i hook up my sub amp too? isnt that why i need the cross over? so i can use both amps with one set of rca's coming out of my hu? |

Diamond Member Username: BestmankindPost Number: 20847 Registered: Oct-05 | the kicker sx amp or your sub amp has full range output. |
