Is it good to mix and match speakers , tweeters and crossovers

[kelviN]

hey guys ,

basically i got a pair of alpine type s splits. However i want to use the boston pro's tweeter and crossever, and the alpine woofer since it will fit in my door. So can i use this combo ? pro's and con's ?

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

i dont imagine there would be a great amount of problems in doing this (if there are any problems with doing this)

[kelviN]

well apart from the power differences, i thought maybe the crossover was specifically designed for each tweeter/speaker...but ill just try it out and see if it sounds good

[arverson]

not gonna write a essay but check if the crossover points are.. for lack of a better word, compatible. wheres the boston mid-bass drivers??

[kelviN]

what do u mean by crossover points ????

The midbass drivers , i cant them nicely into the car , so i wont be using them.

[arverson]

the points where the crossover cuts the frequencies going to each driver. think of them as fixed hpf/lpf's.

[kelviN]

well the frequency (of speakers) of the alpines is 70Hz-22khz, and the boston is 50-22khz. Does this help with finding out ???

[arverson]

nope..

we're not looking for what range of frequencies the set can play alltogether, but the crossover POINTS. it should state them in the boston manual if you have it. i guess look in the alpine manual too for your midbass drivers.

ok..gonna have a look at it now...no info

[arverson]

hmm they dont state it. guess you can only try it out and hope nothing goes wrong. or, since theyre an upgrade, make a spacer for the bostons midbasses to fit.

[kelviN]

i think it'll stick with the matching alpine setup, bostons are really good but even with spacers, i cant put the factory speaker cover over which is wat i want
