what does a car audio crossover do?


basically a Crossover separates the different frequencies in music and sends them to the correct Speakers.

Is this a good car audio system for my car?

Is this System good for my ‘95 Honda Civic 4DR?

Alpine – 50W x 4 Apple® iPod®/Satellite Radio/HD Radio-Ready In-Dash CD Deck
2 Pairs of Alpine – Type-S 5-1/4" 2-Way Coaxial Car Speakers with Poly-Mica Cones (Pair)
Kicker – 12" Dual-Voice-Coil 2-Ohm Subwoofers with Enclosure
Kicker – ZX Series 1500W Class D Mono MOSFET Amplifier with Low-Pass Crossover
Kicker – ZX Series 350W Class AB 4-Channel MOSFET Amplifier with Variable Crossovers

I am trying to get good bass and sound quality and hoping all this will fit correctly,
Thanks.

The only thing i would do is instead of the Alpine 2 way coaxial Speakers, get some kickers. You can search online 5-1/4" kicker speakers. The rest is good. i run the same thing in my 2000 volvo s40. Sounds amazing. The sub hits wicked nice

Car Audio System Set-up…?

I’m looking to put a audio system into my car. Here is what I’ve thought about, and I’m just looking for someone that has more knowledge about car audio systems than I do to tell me if it will work alright.

Subwoofer: RE AUDIO® SRx 12"
300 watts RMS
600 watts peak

Speakers: (2) PAIRS RE AUDIO 500 WATT 5×7/6×8" 2 WAY CAR Speakers
100-125 W peak
50-70 W RMS

Amplifier: (1) PYRAMID 4-CHANNEL 1600 WATT
# 400 Watts x 4 Output
# 800 Watts x 2 Bridged Output ( 400W x 2 + 800W x 1)
# Dual Variable Hi/Lo Electronic Crossover Network
# Dual Variable Bass Boost
# Dual Variable Input Level (Gain) Control
# Hi/Lo Impedance Input
# Tri-Mode Configurable

Will this work good?

If not, what should I change?

If so, what should I set my amp up like?

Thanks for the help

I think it will be clean but I would change the speaker into three way you’ll get a better sound try rockford fosgate punch or power I have punchs 6×8 and they sound gooood sub sounds good try getting two 12" or 15 if you have space also if you don’t have a stereo get a kenwood there cheap but vary reliable and powerfull. My system Kenwood 2009 stereo six 6×8 punch two 12′ subs rockfords and a crunch 6 channal 2000 watt amp and a 2.5 capacitor all this in a 99 mercury cougar V6 there isn’t much room to work with but you can really really hear it from a distance all under $700 not bad
