...just design a reflex bass can and high pass it around 80-90 and tune to top cut off to your liking.... have a look around the forum and see what other people are using.

8 or 10 is gonna be a little on the small side for kick unless you use 4x 10 in a reflex box.... it means setting you active crossover (needs to be a 3way at this point) to only allow FROM 80hz to around 200hz to pass and this is your kick band. Eg. 80hz high pass and a 200hz low pass.

Oh right!! Okay so the way to make it a kick is by high passing it? And there will be 2 of these bins and maybe in future 2more big kick bins

So does this mean the bin will be have to be fed into the active crossover through a different wire to the 'highs' coz it was meant to be part of the mt 130 and I was gunna wire the tweeter, kick and mid in parallel so that I only need one output box

That won't work. If you put passive crossovers on all of those other speakers, I suppose you could get some sound off of one output, but the difference in sensitivity for each speaker and the inability to eq or limit, you will blow the tweeters and it will sound bad. You need a separate output on the active crossover for each band. You will also need an amp channel for each of those outputs to power the speaker for each of those bands. For the MT 130 you could just do a passive crossover between the tweeter and the mid, but performance will be much better biamped. Definitely do NOT wire the kick parallel to the MT 130.

Okay, yeah I'll probably have a separate face plate for the kick and wire it to the low band and then to the bass amp. Thanks

If you intend on actively crossing this lot your gonna need a minimum or 3way crossover and 2amps MINIMUM. 1channel to run sub bass another channel to run kick bass and another channel again to run your tops (if they end up with a passive crossover inside them)... you are then left with 1channel to either have stereo tops or as a redundent channel and mono stack the whole thing.
....how big is your budget again?


..sent from my other 'droid. nope, not the one your looking for.
