Best Location for Passive Crossover?
« on: October 30, 2009, 11:17:43 AM »
Dear ICE Sifus,

May I know where is the best location to install passive crossover?

1. Nearer to Amplifier?
2. Nearer to speaker?

Thanks for your reply and will be very much appreciated with reasons posted.

Nearer to the speaker would be ideal!
But I prefer to place it under my front seat. So its easier for me to upgrade to a better caps and inductors as they are pretty huge!!...
But the diff between the 2 position -under seat and at inside the A-pillar, cant really hear the difference!!

Ero,
All this is based on actual try-out and NOT the TCSS factor(talk-cock-sing-song).
Calvinhpk passive is using Mundorf Silver Oil and Mundorf 12awg Flat Copper Foil Inductor.
Its sitting inside the A-pillar just directly behind the tweets. Its a civic FD2 car!!

Bro i think you`ve misunderstood something here. What is about TCSS and what what Chilli and Pepper?. U just dun get my writings/you`d read it wrongly and starting to highlight some sentence on your quote! When i ASK (Just what are the sizes of your A pillar?) it means i know the crossover are big and i`m asking what kind of car`s A pillar is it... When i say (Can fit in a crossover) means i`m wondering! In the end. When i PRAISE (u sure bolehlah bro  /92) Means i really  /92 Calvinhpk!

Its no offence. Just very blur why suddenly kena highlighted and my words are being read/described utterly wrong.
