[QUOTE="Scarlett Rose, post: 218052, member: 16560"] Well I got the woofers today. I installed one and dragged a wedge down to the basement. Hooked it to the amp that will power it wide open. Plugged straight out my ancient EV console that lives down there. Mains at zero, channel at +5, channel flat and brought up the gain slowly with an SM58 hooked up.......lotsa ringing above 2K.......so having no real cables here at the house..........I dug up an old insert cable and inserted a 15 band graphic to the channel. By the time I got it to stop ringing and loud I had basically shelved down everything from 2K up. Which tells me the horns are too hot. If I wanted to anaylize these and do it right, what ya think a ballpark would be between anaylizer mic, program, interface etc.... to do so? (then the fact that Im like a monkey with a cresent wrench with computers too LOL) I also have an old set of 2 way cabs I no longer use that could use a real crossover as the original is missing( I wired um for bi amp but that was a PITA for little cabs) EDIT...Just had a crazy idea. Ya think if I took one wedge to a car audio shop and had them anaylize these and build a crossover for one and I copy the rest or are those kinda places pretty unreliable to get um flat? [/QUOTE]
