This week i plan to order my front stage speakers, Focal TN52 tweeters, 100KP 4inch and 165KBE 6 1/2's. I already have 3 Precision Power amps a 4ch(A1200/4) and 2ch(A1000/2) to run theese active aswell as a mono block(D2000/1) to run the 40KX 16inch sub i already have. What i wanted to ask is does anyone use this same front stage and what they use to run them active, eg. I was looking at getting the clarion HX-D2 using it in 4way mode. What other simillar units would people recomend looking at? Also what sort of placement of speaker and Xover points etc people have had with sucsess. Dont have the car just yet but am buying all the eqipment now and should be getting the Honda Accord Euro soon and ill make it fit. Also There seem to be plenty of people on here that use 33KX sub anyone with reports on the 40KX. I like the 33KX but i got the 40KX for a bit more output and I have never had a single sub system before now

i am running semi active with the k2p midbass...

i had the tn52/100kp in the kicks...sounded better...
i assume with full active you can make the sound stage a bit higher up

The front doors on a euro dont leave alot of room to work with there, you might need to customise the door trims if you get speakers that are too deep

That wont be a problem im an installer and i will be able to make it work

Anyone with some more ideas and advice on running a 4way active system other than the HX-D2 and on the other stuff mentioned above

[Matt VIP]

yep. the other two choices (within any sort of reasonable cost) are the Alpine H701 processor and controller with something like the Alpine 9887; and the (as yet unreleased) Audison Bit One processor.



My vote for the HXD2 'cause of the sex factor though.

Looked at the 9887, actually put one in my girls car nice unit but only has 6 outputs, wanted the 8. I guess i could go for the h701 but the guy at work has it, wanted to be different. HXD2 is still lookin good to me too, when i get my tax check! Have to look at that audison unit

alpine dva-9861, running optical to a PXA-H701. lovely.

P90 combo. Should I say more?

[bsyde]

Well after alot of thought, i went with DEX-P90RS and DEQ-P90 which i received to day. I also have all my speakers now. This should be the best system i have ever had, since i started enjoying systems in 95. All previous setups i have had were street spl type systems, i must have matured or something

[jas]

wow what a setup

should be absolutely awesome.

i have just seen those new PPI amps at JBHiFi they are massive. What are they rated @???..and how much do they really put out.

power + power+ lots more power should be sooo effortless, just ask damo95 i think he has a similar setup with those focals and lots of eclipse power.

HXD2 is an amazing headunit but has a little limited highorder x-overs, good to see you chose a more versitile deck than the clarion...but for an all in one deck i have yet to see better.

CEA ratings for the amps are as follows

Mono Block PPI D2000/1- 1x1150w @ 1ohm

2 Channel PPI A1000/2- 2x230w @ 4ohm

4 Channel PPI A1200/4- 4x110w @ 4ohm


All at 14.4v at less than 1% THD, so a little less power in the real world but heaps for this set up

g/l?

[Pulse-R]

good luck = g/l

should be a nice system

as for placement, I recommend getting the mid-range (100kp) as far from your head as possible. top of the kick panel against the firewall works well. even partly obstructed by the under-side of the dash will yield acceptable results.

but as with any install, the only way to know is to try it out in a temp. setup and see how you go.
