Hi bro frank, u r running active or passive? How much r u feeding the comp set?

 

[calvinhpk]

yeah...what's the power u feed to them? passive or active?
give more info like...what amp, what Hu? what sub?

sometimes, it's a sub the help for the mid for some kick....

Frank u should bridge the ppi and drive the comps with 160w x 2 via the passives. That would solve ur prob. 40w x 2 won't give u much midbass.

 

[artnet]

i believe he is bridging them...
that was wht he told me not long ago.

after we bridge it
will we lost some of the details?

You gain something, you lose something. A good high powered amp with 100w x 4 or so ain't cheap, so in this case we have to give and take.

Artnet: I shall double-check with him.

Frank: Check that the speaker phasing is correct. If the mids is out of phase, you'll lose midbass response.

wow, i never knew that bridging the amp will lose the 'details' of sound.
why is it so?

Ermm dunno about losing details, but the thd will increase by 10 times.

 

[artnet]

i see. THD is the distortion?

 

[mnkh0027]

The ppi has a thd of 0.02%. So with x10, it's only 0.2% still much better than many amps with 1% Thd at bridged mode.

 

[artnet]

anyone carries any PPI PCX480?

 

[calvinhpk]

i see. THD is the distortion?

or they call in full.... Total Harmonic Distortion

 

[frank_ckn]

i use PPI 44n bridge 160x2watt but the mid still no strong~~! how micheal?

 

[kapitan]

I think you need a sub lar...
No matter how strong midbass is, it still wont play sub frequency...

I need a sub too for my setup... no matter how nicely my front comp plays, it feel lacking a punch or life without a sub...

 

[netken]

distortion also got harmonics!! hehehe... THD >0.0001% from BRAX i think buwhahaha

Next week meet in Projet, say Tues or Weds. You pick. Will check out your install, do a phase check and we'll work from there.

You installed in Kenny's SoundQuest as recommended right?
