How do I bi-amp componets?

Yea.

Sorry.  Kinda had a long weekend.

I had to look at that thing for a minute to figure it out.  whew.

What is a noisy pot? 

"Starving actor type?"  Hehe alright I appreciate that.  But I have questions..!

Yea I'll agree with not letting it rot..  Okay here is what it looks like to me though.. Follow along and tell me if this is all correct.. this is how my system plan is forming in my head:

Front RCA output --> Signal Processor --> First 2 sets of RCA inputs on JL 6450 -->First 4 channels to Tweeters/Midbass

Rear RCA output --> Rear RCA input on JL 6450 --> Rear Fill

Now here is the sticky wicket:  The EQX has a set crossover point..  at 90hz no less.. which for what we're discussing makes it fairly useless... except u can change it out it with a resistor?  Like they give a formula and say that u can swap it out for a different one and change the xover point as needed?  Have you changed urs?  My sense of this would say that being able to adjust the xover point for proper tuning would be *very* important... so hows that work? It looks pretty simple in the .pdf but how expensive/obtainable are resistors for this thing?  Or is this another one of those "radio shack" moments?  What about this "Programmable Frequency Module"-subsonic filter thing..  that works the same way? Just do the math to get the resistor value and plug it in?  Tell me all about that.

Yea.  Huh.  Its okay.  She hated my stereo anyway.

Yea I want it.

Naww I knew you didn't mean nothin, I wouldn't a whined about $$$ if I cared anyway.   I work like 30 hours a week serving tables... 'starving actor type' is pretty accurate.  I like 'starving student' more though... just cuz theatre-freaks kinda annoy me.

Huh I've never heard of a volume knob that does that.

Hmm... okay how does this resistor thing work?  I have to get the resistor and plug it into some other sort of componet (those 14 or 16 pin sockets on the second link?) which hooks onto the EQX?

Is this math just the formula in the .pdf?  7200/<desired xo point in hz> = resistor value in kohms?

So this is kinda easy.. just get the little socket, get the resistor, plug it in, and then plug the socket onto the EQX and change the XO point.....? same for the PFM but that I'd kinda set and forget?

So I've never bought something from someone over a forum like this.  How's sis supposed to work?  

$150 shipped?  We sir, have a deal.

Could I build the XO modules myself or would ordering them from AudioControl be the easiest way to do this? My concern is that ordering something like that from a company would take 2 or 3 months...?

Okay well.. help me out a bit..  I'm thinking if I did that, for what we've discussed, the XO at 5000hz and the PFM at 120hz?  Ultimately, I'd like a set of these for my midbass.

I was also looking at these, especially cuz of the 2-ohm rating.. but the XO point seems rather low for a midbass?

What do u think?  What would you be looking at?  I was going to try my old VR series midbasses.. they were *excellent* but I *did* kill one of them .. the CDT Classic series midbasses in my car now are...  well.   They need to go.

You mean 18dB module and 24dB module like... the "slope/octave"

Just out of curiosity, why are you planning on going with a 3 way using mid basses?  This seems to complicate things even more, and drives up cost.  There are some good 6's out there that will give you all the mid bass you need, and have good response up to about 3kHz.  And there are some good tweeters that will play down that low as well. 

This is my own personal opinion based on what I've learned; but I suggest in your search being leery of metal coned mids.  The reason for this is that metal cone's produce peaks in the response that are excited by motor linearities and therefore cannot be filtered out.  Granted poly cones do have dips in the response due to cone break-up, but dips are much less audible than peaks.  I don't know if you have read it yet or not, but my boss provided some good information that is relevant here in this link: http://forum.soundillusions.net/articles.php?action=viewarticle&artid=3
