Pure Signal Control for Real Car Audio Lovers
The PRV Audio EX3.5 STEREO crossover is built for enthusiasts who want clean, controlled sound across every part of their system. With flexible 2 or 4 RCA input options, it fits easily into different car audio setups without complications. It delivers up to 9V RMS high-performance output, giving your amplifiers a strong and clean signal that keeps your system sounding tight, loud, and distortion free even at high volume.
True 3-Way Sound Separation Made Simple
This crossover is engineered with a full 3-way active architecture that separates your audio into HIGH, MID, and SUB outputs for total frequency control. You get a dedicated 6 RCA output layout designed for stereo highs, mids, and a mono sub channel, making system integration smooth and efficient. Adjustable high pass and low pass filters give you precise tuning across all frequency bands, so every speaker plays exactly what it is supposed to handle without strain or overlap.
Deep Bass Control and Pro Level Tuning Power
When it comes to low end performance, the EX3.5 STEREO gives you serious control with adjustable bass boost up to +12dB at 45Hz for deep and powerful sub response. A selectable subsonic filter at 20Hz, 30Hz, 40Hz, or flat helps protect your subs from unwanted ultra low distortion while keeping bass clean and tight. Independent gain control on every channel ensures perfect balance across your entire system, while phase adjustment on the sub channel locks your bass in with the rest of your speakers for a smooth and coherent sound experience that feels fully dialed in.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- • Why is my PRV Audio EX3.5 STEREO not sending audio to all outputs?
This is usually caused by incorrect wiring, improper crossover settings, or connecting the outputs to the wrong amplifier channels. Verify each connection before adjusting the system.
- • Can I use the EX3.5 STEREO with both factory and aftermarket head units?
Yes, it can be integrated with either setup as long as the input signal levels are compatible and the processor is wired correctly.
- • Why do my tweeters stop playing after installing the EX3.5 STEREO?
The high pass crossover may be set too high, an output channel may be muted, or there could be a wiring issue between the crossover and amplifier.
- • Why do my midrange speakers sound weak after adjusting the crossover?
The crossover frequencies may overlap incorrectly or be set outside the speaker's recommended operating range. Small adjustments can restore a balanced sound.
- • Can the EX3.5 STEREO improve the clarity of my entire audio system?
Yes, when configured properly it separates frequencies more accurately, allowing each speaker to reproduce the range it was designed to handle.
- • Why do I hear engine noise after installing the EX3.5 STEREO?
Engine noise is commonly caused by poor grounding, electrical interference, or RCA cables running too close to power cables. Improving the installation usually eliminates the problem.
- • Is the EX3.5 STEREO suitable for a three way speaker system?
Yes, it is designed to manage separate frequency ranges, making it a popular choice for three way active speaker systems.
- • Why do my speakers distort after installing the EX3.5 STEREO?
Distortion can occur if the crossover frequencies are set incorrectly, the amplifier gain is too high, or the input signal is clipping before it reaches the crossover.
- • How do I know if the crossover frequencies are set correctly?
Each speaker should reproduce only the frequencies it is designed to handle. If vocals, highs, and bass sound clean without distortion, your settings are likely close to optimal.
- • What is the best way to tune the EX3.5 STEREO for everyday listening?
Begin with the recommended crossover points, set amplifier gains correctly, make small adjustments while listening to familiar music, and avoid extreme settings that can reduce sound quality.
