While I understand why you'd want to send the full signal to the DSP so you can better adjust the cross-over points to suit your aftermarket speakers, I'm not sure it's a good idea to go completely active. Should the full signal ever hit the tweeters, even for an instant, my understanding is they would be toast. It's not that I think the DSP would fail, rather the user may make a bad setting by accident or bypass the filter (simple switch in the Audiotec DSP). Secondly I'm not sure you'll be accomplishing much with the mids/tweeters since the DSP is already capable of dividing the signal between them, and at least for the Focal K2's that I installed, there are high quality passive crossovers that are capable of doing a great job. If I was going to do this, I'd focus on the under-seat woofers, much less likely to do any damage should something go wrong. Perhaps band-pass them to better compliment the midrange speakers. Particularly if you install a sub-woofer, you can take some of the load off the under-seat woofers, play them at a bit higher frequencies, and let the sub do the heavy work in the low frequencies. Make sense? |
How do you like the K2s in comparison to Focal Inside, how difficult was it to find space for the crossover box?
