    Just won these speakers.....

    ...where will the crossovers go?



    For my RS2, didnt even think about it when bidding, just thought they were too good to miss, got them for £40 all inc delivery. These are the Reference MB Quarts RSC210 10cm comps, range toppers if i'm not mistaken?

    Anyway, back to those crossovers.....

    Thoughts appreciated

    Excellent choice that man
    Tweeters go in the demist vents
    Crossovers Cable tie up behind the dashboard
    BTDT
    Leave them somewhere reasonably accessable, because you will want to alter the crossovers when the speakers are fully run in

      Cheers Dom!

      Used to have MBs in my previous Porker, top notch indeed.

      I'll need to take a look at spaces, as those c/o's look pretty big. When you say behind the dash, do you mean behind the instrument panel?

      Can you extend the cable attached to the tweeters or is that not recommended?

          Nice choice

          My crossovers are mounted using adhesive pads/tape (although mine didn't come from there) up inside the dash - below the speakers. A tad fiddly to get to them - but then it's not something I need to do very often!

          Ck.
          Shocked, exhausted, hosed, bushed, dumped, chipped, mounted, filtered, gauged, packed, intermittantly wiped and braked. I mean broken. Now, about the car...

            thanks for tips chaps, i'll stick my head under the dash and see what I find!

            Have you got yours amp'd?. I was thinking of runnng these off the headunit (potential becker Monza on the cards) and maybe add an active sub to fill the sound out a bit, like the Alpine unit to fit under the seat.

            Whaddya think? Not the purist choice granted....

              Straight off the head unit for me. Putting the MB Quarts in made enough difference (massive improvement) for me not to go any further (e.g. sub) at this stage.

              Strongly suggest that if your head unit supports it you protect the MB Quarts - or whatever else people have fitted - from the very low frequencies. They are fantastic units and worth looking after by not asking them to perform outside their frequency range. IIRC my filter for that is set to 100Hz.

                I run mine through an Alpine Amp, much better than off the Head unit

                Head unit poweres rear Fill 5" infinitys

                Kenwood Mono Amp runs Alpine 10" Sub in a small enclosure

                Got an Infinity Perfect 12.1 up for sale if you want it ?
                You`ll need a decent amp to power it though
