nice. I havent played with the 660 yet, but am realy looking forward to it with the 3 way front stage. from everything I have researched, it should do the trick nicely...

How are you doing a 3 way front stage off the 660?

You only have crossovers and outputs to go 2 way right?

I spent some more time on my tune today as well, had a spectrum analyser running all the way through set up.

Got it much flatter but still have a dip at 400hz that the 660 doesn't give me the ability to correct.

Also made 10 reference measurements all around the drivers head position which gave much better results than the standard 4 that it asks for.

Here is my little tune set up...

The rear or fronts only are fine as either receive full range when sub amp disconnected. The ICC has no separate tweeter output in any case.

Hey jrjoz, did you tune with a laptop and I presume the Imprint ap? and if so what final "profile" did youy select?

When I started work I tested both front and rear outputs against each other and didn't notice any difference.

Yeah I did the basic set up off the unit then re did everything off the laptop.

Final profile I went for was the 3rd one I think, pretty much pushed the bass all the way up with a high end roll off.

I also used the second option in the click boxes which was another high roll off filter.

Even at this point it was still pretty lumpy, I then ran pink noise off my ipod and also a Test CD and used the parametric eq to solves some issues.

Would be sooooo much simpler if there was a 31band graphic in there somewhere. 3 band parametric is a joke and the laptop control is still super limited.

Cheers,

J

im still in the baby stage with the imprint. 6 channels though right? if nothing else I can pass through some rcas on the 4 channel amp and run the same signal to the 2 channel. level will be the same from the 660, but I can adjust the amp level to suit volume requirements...

It's more about your cross over points.

In a 2 way you would set 1 cross over around 2.5khz

For 3 way you need 2 points around 900hz and 3.15khz

The imprint has 6 outs being

L/R Tweeter

L/R mid

L/R rear

I dont think you get a cross over on the L/R rear

I could be wrong though.

the speaker grills are plastic riveted to the door card, so I got my grinder out and nipped them off

time for tape and fibreglass. I sprayed the tape with cooking spray so the fibreglass will release.

also remember to clean the areas to be taped thoroughly with prepsol or wax and grease remover, to get rid of old armour all etc.
