OK, just hooked up my new Behringer CX2310 crossover. Right now I am sending >80hz to a 100wpc Sherwood receiver to the Altecs (418-8H II, N501-8A, 32B horn w/ 808-8A/pascalite compression drivers, and one Piezo supertweeter) and <80hz to a Soundcraftsmen pre amp to a Crown DC300A to my pair of Alpine 10" box-O-subs in .75 cu. ft. boxes crossed over at 80hz.
Sounds a lot better than when I was running everything full range and using a graphic EQ to filter down the high frequencies to the subs. I also am not using any EQ and like it.
I have another Sherwood amp lying around and will bypass the N501-8A's after I find some more speaker wire and try tri-amping. Doing so, the Altecs will be receiving a full signal w/ F3 at 44hz.
So, I'm thinking I would like to get a Crown 75wpc D150A and 35wpc D75 for the Altecs and find a sub amp that has either 300wpc @8ohm stereo or 600wpc @4ohm mono.
Does everybody's wiring look like this?
