Bronze Member Username: ChofilenaIloilo, Iloilo Philippines Post Number: 72 Registered: Oct-11 | I recently bought my upgrade component speakers from a morel maximo to a CDT ES620 eurosport. Does anybody know the x-over point between the mid/woofer and the tweeter of this component speakers and at what db/octave? I have been emailing CDT regarding this but no response from them. Will be running them full active with the use of the MS-8, any suggestions on my x-over settings. My existing settings: Front speakers (Morel maximo) Tweeter- 3500hz 12db Mid/ woofer- 60hz 12db Center speaker Jensen 300hz -up 12db (full range) Rear speakers Boston acoustics coaxial- 50hz -up 12db (full range) Subwoofer Bazooka tube BTA6100 6.5 amplified sub -60Hz 18db For my new upgrade CDT ES620, I am open to any suggestion: Front speakers (CDT ES620) Tweeter- _________ db ____ Mid/ woofer- _________ db _____ Center speaker Jensen __________db____(full range) Rear speakers Boston acoustics coaxial- _________ db ____ (full range) Subwoofer Bazooka tube BTA6100 6.5 amplified sub ______ db _____ |

Gold Member Username: Joe1234Post Number: 1394 Registered: May-09 | Front speakers (CDT ES620) tweeter: anywhere around 1.5K to 2K mid: 60Hz to the same frequency as above Introducing a capacitor will generate phasing, one goes actve with DSPs to avoid that, if you want use it while you are setting up, once you are sure it's not getting lower frequencies remove it. I would hipass the bostons to 60Hz also (optional), the rest can stay as before for now until you get bored and change it. See how it goes Carlos, best of luck. |
