??? a/d/s/ 642/ix -> PH15 -> comps, and rear mid-bass
Hi,
I'd think that this should be pretty simple, but the manual for the 642ix doesn't list it as an option... This set-up is going in a Toyota king cab, with stealth being a priority (I'd REALLY like to keep it down to the one amp)... I want to run ch's 1&2, and 3&4 of the PH15 bridged to a set of Morel components (I really do need all of those 100 watts for each side), and then I want to use ch's 5&6 to run a pair of old school JBL 8" free air subs (very efficient) from ~200hz down. The closest configuration listed is exactly the opposite... 100WRMS x2 for the subs, and 50WRMSx2 for the components. Am I gonna have to build my own modules here? I haven't had any luck with getting service, parts, answers or even basic email responses from a/d/s/... As much as I love Directed, a/d/s/ just isn't even colse to the same company after the buy-out - sorry, different rant... TIA, Keith |

It should work just fine. The amp doesn't care what you connect to it as
long as the load is with in operating specs. Just have to make sure the crossover is right. On my 640.2, the crossover is weird - the 1-2 channels only do a high pass though they can be set to be controlled by the 3-4 crossover. It's been a long time since I've had a ph15, does it even have a cross over? Or, are you usinghthe 642csi? "keith" wrote in message ...

Yes it can be done but you will need to get your hands on an AC206 which is
a router for the din pins. You will need one of those and then 2 AC201's I believe are the part #'s. They are the 1' male din to din connectors. This will allow you to run the din pins to the respective locations. If you use the diagram in the manual and just plug the modules in the wrong locations it will only cause problems. It is not that simple. This will then allow you to run channel 1 input to bridge channels 1/2, then channel 3 input to bridge channels 3/4 and then channels 5/6 in a stereo operation. As for not getting service, parts, responses to emails or anything else from a/d/s/ you need to keep in mind that the individuals that were there 6 months ago are no longer there. Directed is now doing everything out of their own facility in Vista and the individuals that worked out of the Phoenix and Boston facility well are no longer around. I guess they thought it would be better but it seems like their are some good things about it and definitely bad but when it comes to old school stuff you are pretty much well tossed on the side. If you have any questions just let me know. -- Pat M. "keith" wrote in message ... Hi, I'd think that this should be pretty simple, but the manual for the 642ix doesn't list it as an option...

No, I'm using a 642ix... The loads are right, but I can't seem to get access to
the optional modules that it looks like I need... I'm hopong that there's a jumper/standard module combination that will get me there... Additionally, the units are connected via the 8 pin DIN wire, that restricts easy switching of input sources. No, the PH15 doesn't have an internal x-over. That'd just be too simple...

Thanks Pat,
I was afraid of just such a situation... I can't even get my hands on an AC202 (DIN to RCA adapter), much less an AC206 and two AC201's... Unfortunately, I passed on tony's (tbird1950) offer on a couple of AC201's and now they're long gone. I'm afraid I'll have to go another route, using the three way standard set-up, overpowering my tweeters, and under powering my mids... I tried calling the woman you put me in contact with last time we spoke, but got no resopnse. Perhaps she's gone now too... I'll try the standard config, and let you know how it turns out.

Keith I might happen to have an AC206 sitting in my garage collecting dust
but I know for sure that I don't have any AC201's. Let me check on it tomorrow when I am out there wrenching and will let you know. As for the AC201's if you go to the website and look up home dealers in your area they will be or should I say should be able to get you a couple since they were the ones that used them the most. The car audio dealers really didn't use them all that much.. I will let you know tomorrow on what I find out.. --- Pat M. "Keith" wrote in message ...

Keith sorry for the delay. My project I was working on took longer than I
expected then need to get ready for next weekend.. You are in luck though. I found an AC206 sitting in my draw that was not even used. If you send me your address I will send it out to you. You can contact JD or Directed directly and they should be able to sell you the AC201 cables... -- Pat M. "Keith" wrote in message ... Wow, OK... I'm looking foward to hearing from you...

??? a/d/s/ 642/ix -> PH15 -> comps, and rear mid-bass
Actually, last time I looked we had a lifetime supply of ALL of the
ACxxx cables/adapters in stock. I'd like to point out that in our defense, the condition "in stock" in terms of a/d/s/ parts and products has reached a consistency level never seen in recent years under previous management :-) Thanks for the assist Pat, and we do miss you for sheer hands-on experience with these products although there are a number of folks in Tech that have been working hard to cover these types of older support questions, including cataloging and posting to the tech web site evrey out of production owner's guide they can get their hands on. JD hooked me up with all the a/d/s/ cables/connectors/manuals I was after. Maybe you're not trying hard enough? |

I'm sorry John, Perhaps I should have contacted you directly when I
initially began my search. Honestly, I felt a little awkward after 3+ years of watching you field tons of questions and requests that should be easily handled by local dealers and the tech support/sales departments... Honestly, this is the first time I've attempted contact with a/d/s/ tech support in over 5 years, so I'm going on my experiences from ~'93-'98 - I understand that a lot can go wrong in 3 or 4 years, and I'm sure that Directed is in the process of righting that ship. I'm honestly not trying to stir anything up - I've just been trying in vain (since May) to get this system complete, and have run into more than a couple of brick walls. (see: "Need help finding AC202 a/d/s/ - JD - Pat - anyone?" from May). However, I'm seriously not kidding about not being able to get any of my *three* local dealers to order the part. I then ordered one from evosport.com (the only place I could find on line that claimed to have them in stock), and I canceled my order after a month of "It's back-ordered - it'll be another week." It was at that point I bought a 642ix in hopes that a simple electronics store 8pin to 8pin would hold me over until I could the right one. I now realize that this was perhaps a mis-guided purchase at the time... That being the case, I guess I'm in the market for two AC201's, and an AC202 (just in case)... Whom should I be talking to? Thanks John, and mucho respect for your passion and knowledge. Keith John Durbin wrote: Actually, last time I looked we had a lifetime supply of ALL of the ACxxx cables/adapters in stock.

What can I say Pat, your dedication to all-out customer support isn't
easily replaced :-) The buy direct thing can somewhat be addressed by working with our Warranty Dept. who is able to sell parts like that in a limited way. We know it's not always possible to find a good local a/d/s/ dealer in every part of the country. JD Pat M wrote: Well glad to hear that you have all of the ACXXX parts in stock John. It still doesn't make sense though why when a consumer calls up asking for a 56005 or 56025 they are told that they can not buy direct but are then directed to a dealer and when they visit that dealer they don't want to order it for the customer. Seems as though service does not want to bother placing the order and pleasing the customer but hey I am not there any longer and don't know what is going on in the inside.. If an old time a/d/s/ user emails me with ?'s I respond to them but it just bothers me when I see that they are sending emails to Tech Support and they are just ignored. Maybe I am just a little over protective or maybe it has something to do for the love of the product whether I was an employee or not... -- Pat M. "John Durbin" wrote in message ...

I saw that thread, but very late - had not been able to find time to
keep up with RAC for the better part of the second half 2002. But please don't worry about contacting me about Directed stuff, worst case if you send it to my home mail I may not see it or respond immediately but sent to work ) should get you a quick response from me or whoever I forward the question to internally. I know our system isn't truly geared towards DIY consumer support, but we try and make the best of it both at my level, in Tech Support, C/S, and the Warranty Dept. I am surprised by evosport, those guys have had a long-time strong relationship with a/d/s/ including building demo cars together. I bet if I shipped them the cables they'd be glad to hook you up. However, I think we can handle that directly, let me look into it tomorrow and I'll send you the details from work.

(see: "Need help finding AC202 a/d/s/ - JD - Pat - anyone?" from May). However, I'm seriously not kidding about not being able to get any of my *three* local dealers to order the part. I then ordered one from evosport.com (the only place I could find on line that claimed to have them in stock), and I canceled my order after a month of "It's back-ordered - it'll be another week." It was at that point I bought a 642ix in hopes that a simple electronics store 8pin to 8pin would hold me over until I could the right one. I now realize that this was perhaps a mis-guided purchase at the time... That being the case, I guess I'm in the market for two AC201's, and an AC202 (just in case)... Whom should I be talking to? Thanks John, and mucho respect for your passion and knowledge. Keith John Durbin wrote: Actually, last time I looked we had a lifetime supply of ALL of the ACxxx cables/adapters in stock. I'd like to point out that in our defense, the condition "in stock" in terms of a/d/s/ parts and products has reached a consistency level never seen in recent years under previous management :-) Thanks for the assist Pat, and we do miss you for sheer hands-on experience with these products although there are a number of folks in Tech that have been working hard to cover these types of older support questions, including cataloging and posting to the tech web site evrey out of production owner's guide they can get their hands on. JD Keith wrote: Thanks Pat, I was afraid of just such a situation... I can't even get my hands on an AC202 (DIN to RCA adapter), much less an AC206 and two AC201's... Unfortunately, I passed on tony's (tbird1950) offer on a couple of AC201's and now they're long gone. I'm afraid I'll have to go another route, using the three way standard set-up, overpowering my tweeters, and under powering my mids... I tried calling the woman you put me in contact with last time we spoke, but got no resopnse. Perhaps she's gone now too... I'll try the standard config, and let you know how it turns out. Thanks again Pat, a/d/s/ is surely missing your expertise and helpfulness. Keith Pat M wrote: Yes it can be done but you will need to get your hands on an AC206 which is a router for the din pins. You will need one of those and then 2 AC201's I believe are the part #'s. They are the 1' male din to din connectors. This will allow you to run the din pins to the respective locations. If you use the diagram in the manual and just plug the modules in the wrong locations it will only cause problems. It is not that simple. This will then allow you to run channel 1 input to bridge channels 1/2, then channel 3 input to bridge channels 3/4 and then channels 5/6 in a stereo operation. As for not getting service, parts, responses to emails or anything else from a/d/s/ you need to keep in mind that the individuals that were there 6 months ago are no longer there. Directed is now doing everything out of their own facility in Vista and the individuals that worked out of the Phoenix and Boston facility well are no longer around. I guess they thought it would be better but it seems like their are some good things about it and definitely bad but when it comes to old school stuff you are pretty much well tossed on the side. If you have any questions just let me know. -- Pat M. "keith" wrote in message ... Hi, I'd think that this should be pretty simple, but the manual for the 642ix doesn't list it as an option... This set-up is going in a Toyota king cab, with stealth being a priority (I'd REALLY like to keep it down to the one amp)... I want to run ch's 1&2, and 3&4 of the PH15 bridged to a set of Morel components (I really do need all of those 100 watts for each side), and then I want to use ch's 5&6 to run a pair of old school JBL 8" free air subs (very efficient) from ~200hz down. The closest configuration listed is exactly the opposite... 100WRMS x2 for the subs, and 50WRMSx2 for the components. Am I gonna have to build my own modules here? I haven't had any luck with getting service, parts, answers or even basic email responses from a/d/s/... As much as I love Directed, a/d/s/ just isn't even colse to the same company after the buy-out - sorry, different rant... TIA, Keith |
