Bi-Amp

[VZ-Rob]

Any one Vertical bi-amp their splits system?
I.E. use 2 x 2chanel amps
with a dedicated channel for the bass driver and a dedicated channel for the tweeter for each left and right output?
Just looking to get a cleaner sound :thumbsup:

You need a good EQ if you're going to bypass the passive crossovers.

I don't use 2x2 channel amps, but use 1x4ch to achieve a similar thing. Having separate gain controls for the woofers and the tweeters is great for tuning. I'm only running passive though, luckily my crossovers have separate inputs for tweeter signal and woofer signal.

Why are you bumping it? It was only 2nd from the top...

:thumbsup: yeah thanks Bezz that's it exactly
will run another set of cables to the woofers and need to get another crossover set for the woofers
mine have only the 1 power input bugga!
anybody sell crossovers on their own ?

 

[bezz]

You can buy them, or if you're feeling adventurous you could build some yourself. That being said unless you really know what you want from the crossover I'd recommend sticking with the ones that come with the splits. Perhaps you can get them as spare parts?

What splits do you have?

 

[VZ-Rob]

All done
Response 6 1/2"' kevlar splits up front now run the woofer active off the amp using the LPF setting
until the CADENCE - ZRS6K turn up in the mail later this week
WOW instant fix :thumbsup:
The sound is much better no more Cross-talk heaps more clarity and detail to the midrange and high frequencies.
No back flush of EMF generated by the woofer getting into the tweeter circuit.

IMO Well worth doing guys and a quick sound mod

What's the LPF set to?

In 2 way components usually the crossover point is up around 2kHz-5kHz... Most amps don't have crossovers that high.
