    crossover points

    Does anyone know what the 2-way crossover frequency is on the mid 90's Infinity RS5? I want to rig them up with a new crossover so I can bi-amp them.

    Here are the specs:

    Frequency Response: 40Hz - 40kHz (+/-3dB)
    Crossover Frequency(ies): 300Hz, 4kHz
    Sensitivity: 90dB (1 watt/1 meter)
    Nominal Impedance: 6 ohms
    Power Rating: 25 - 200 watts
    Woofer: 10" (25.4cm) IMG
    Midrange Driver: 5" (12.7cm) IMG
    Tweeter: EMIT-R

    Hope this helps.

    I'm looking for the specs on the RS5 or 2000.5 with dual 6.5 in. drivers arranged D'Apolito with the silk dome tweeter. It's a two way design.

    I'm not sure you'll want to bi-amp these speakers, as it's doubtfull it will make any worthwhile improvement. You could end up making things worse in the crossover and ruin the original integration...even a small change in inductance can mess things up.

    I'd recommend using quality amplification for these, but beyond that I think you could be making trouble for yourself here.

    My RS5's are rated to 200 watts RMS. I am planning on using the bi amp feature on my new pioneer vsx52tx. The more power the better, right?

    I am at a loss, I have checked with Infinity here:

    I guess you may have to email their support for the information as there is a RS5 1990s, but no x-over specs.

    evac311:

    More power is only good if you really need it. How loud do you want these things to play?
    Don't confuse MORE power with BETTER QUALITY power.
    A cheaper and far easier solution would be to buy a good used power amp, Rotel, NAD, Adcom or something along those lines for $100 or so and run it off the pre-outs of your receiver.
    Those speakers are pretty efficient and don't need much power.
