I am considering trying a 3 way setup in the kicks. I did a search and didnt come up with much, and really dont remember ever seeing this done much. Maybe its not done for a reason. I currently have a Pioneer 720PRS comp set and a set of Beyma SD-35 dome midrange. The vehicle is a '98 F150. I have a few choices on decks... Pioneer 880 or Clarion DXZ785. The amp on the front stage is an Alpine PDX4.150. I am thinking of using the 720 mids on 2 channels or the amp, and the other 2 channels or the amp will go to a set of Eclipse passive crossovers that will go to the Beymas and Pioneer tweeters. I still have to figure out crossover points for the mids and Beymas. As I am looking into it, it seems as though the Clarion has more flexible crossovers. If I am looking at the manual correctly it seems the lowest I can transition from the Pioneer mids to the Beymas is 1.25k. That can be tackeled later I guess.
The main question I have is if I should try all three drivers in the kicks. I was thinking of having the 6.5s firing across at each other. The kicks will be vented into the kicks also. Then the Beymas and tweeters will be on the same mounting plate that are aimed at the opposite headrest. Aiming will be played with as I build the plates. I just dont see 3 drivers in the kicks... any reason?
I am kinda wanting to stay away from the Beymas and tweets in the A pillars. Mainly due to size and looks. Another big thing is that I am hoping to stay away from time alignment. I want to keep it somewhat simple as far as processing goes. I measured and it seems to be about 14" difference in distances from each kick to drivers head. I dont mind the drivers being set up for both seats to enjoy. It doesnt have to be based solely on the drivers seat.
Is there anything I am missing or overlooking?
