I just purchased a used RSB 218 Reference Series MB Quart speakers. It doesn't come with the manual so I have to ask here how to wire my speakers.

The crossover has 4 terminals....1 for tweeter, 1 for woofer and 2 more inputs labeled INPUT HIGH and INPUT LOW.

I am powering the speakers with my headunit an Alpine CDA-9833 with 26 W RMS power. Where should I connect the power to? HIGH or LOW

Thanks

 

sounds like a biwirable component set. i'd try and find a manual online because theres usually a switch or a set of jumpers inside that have to be removed or put in depending on the wiring method.

 

I did see a jumper in the crossover labeled BIWIRE and STAND on the other side.

I guess I have to set it to STAND and power either one input?

 

If you are running standard mode, you connect through the INL only.

If you are biwiring (run two pairs of wires to each amp channel, one for the mid and one for the low) or biamping you would go through the INL and INH. you switch the jumpers on the crossover to whatever way you want to wire it, biwire or standard. since you are using deck power, and if you are going to stuff the crossover in the door, set it to standard mode.

The other set of jumpers on the MUSiCOMP crossover is used to wire up resistors in line with the tweeter output. It is better to use these to adjust the tweeter levels instead of your treble ****. 0dBis full output to the tweeters or flat relative to the 6.5". -6dB means that it plays 6 dB softer than the tweeters.

 

thanks dc24me....for your detailed answer!
