Length of Rca's

[Dblock]

Hi i would like to know what size of rca's i need as im gonna order some off knukonceptz. so would 4metres or 6metres be better?

Cheers

also if anyone is kind enough could they measure the inside the speakers e.g. under the speaker grill or can someone tell me how to get it off.

Hmmmmm!!!!!

Suppose that would depend on the distance between point A & point B....Or even the route taken.....

Tell you what, get a piece of string & follow the rough route your RCA leads will follow, allow a little extra to accomodate any changes in position of amps....Now measure how long the string actually is....

Post up the length of string & I will tell you which RCA length suits your individual needs.....

like in the door cards? i think they are 5.25?

Get 6m rca leads.

Speakers are 5.25" or 13cm. Held in by 4 torx screws.

Grill: get a flat head on the bottom of it there is a little hole big enough for a screwdriver, then it should pull outwards.

didnt have a ruler so i measured the string at about 4.5-5metres so i think the 6metre ones are a winner. Wallop also what do you know about changing and setting up a 24xs?

Cheers Alex i actually need to measure them for you as i was wanting the mdf rings made up lol. Will get it measured tomorrow.

Thanks

Changing what???? The resistors????

With regards setup, have fun.....I can't really convey how to achieve the 'best' results without actually getting 'hands on'.....If I were using one in my car then the factory settings would be totally unsuitable, a cut off at 33hz is simply not acceptable....

Linky just in case.....

yeah, how does it work i need it to high pass for my tweats at 2.5khz and low pass my at roughly the same. And i need to high pass my mids just under 80hz. i read the manual over and over but its not very helpful.

Simply contact your Audio Control supplier & order suitable replacement modules then....

Or, contact a good I.C.E. dealer near you & ask them to make you some....

Or, (best Option), make your own....

Like I stated previously, Have Fun, its not exactly expensive....

I have some JBL GTO 5.25" door speakers. and WOW. I would well reccomend them mate. Absolute dogs b****cks when it comes to speakers!

wallop ive read that guide its just im a bit stupid. Whats better 18db xover slope or 24db slope?

The CROSSOVER module has a 24dB slope
The PFM module has an 18dB slope

 

[Dblock]

ahhh

 

[Dblock]

just found out you can make the xover 18 or 24 just different pin settings. whats the benefit of a steeper slope? e.g. 24 over 18

 

[wallop]

Having two different size/type of speakers producing similar frequencies can produce cancellation issues, if sound waves are cancelled out or join together to make one larger wave, sound quality will suffer....

A steeper roll off slope where two crossover points meet can lessen this effect, (sub to mid-bass for example)....

A low pass filter with a crossover point set at say 70hz, will play all frequencies below 70hz at full output, but frequencies above 70hz will still be played at steadily decreasing output level depending on the roll off slope....

The areas between the roll off slopes are where both drivers are producing similar frequencies, the narrower areas, (24dB slopes), and wider areas, (12dB slopes), give you an insight into the basic difference between the two, the shallower slope has a much larger area & so a higher chance of cancellation issues....

Please understand this is a very basic explanation....

thanks mate made sence and is what i needed to know. Im gonna order up loads of turned pin things and resistors as they cheap and then have a play around with them see if a 24 or an 18 slope sounds better.. I honestly dont know why people like audiocontrol as they have such a stupid way of doing things whats wrong with a switch or a dial?
