Re: apogee 3x3s2 vs eaw 650z




There are other, possibly better ways to do this. If you have aligned your subs and tops with Smaart or some other FFT software, raising the crossover will necessitate a different alignment. Most subs sound terrible when crossed over that high. However, if you keep the sub crossover lower, but apply a boost around 100 or 120 to BOTH the subs and tops (to keep the phase identical, and not affect alignment), things have a tendency of staying pretty clean. The boost doesn't have to be much to be effective - 3dB goes a long way.


Of course this is highly dependent on where your subs are in relation to your tops, and what kind of alignment you shoot for. If the subs and tops are directly stacked, it will probably work fine. If the subs are in a center cluster and the tops are flown or stacked on the sides, good luck...the above ideas will probably just make things worse for most of the audience...
