412 CVX Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 you could 6 8 ohms speakers, and two tweets. wire them in series/parallel to 8 ohms. or go with 4 speakers, 4 tweets. you're gonna need a crossover for the tweets though.

LUV bass Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) For a crossover for the tweets, would this: http://www.parts-exp...tnumber=266-474 work? Would I need any kind of low or high pass filters for the mids? Also, would I need 1 crossover per tweeter, or could I use one crossover for a pair of tweeters, as long as the crossover can handle the power?

412 CVX Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 i would consider a 2 way crossover personally. i suppose that would work. you'd need 2. one for each set/channel.

LUV bass Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Thanks for the advice, guys. I'll think about doing the 2 way crossover, depending on how much I spend on the stuff.

LUV bass Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Oh, and how would I wire the speakers to a crossover like this? http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=260-198 Quote 2008 Toyota Corolla -Skar VVX 12 D4 (2)-Skar SK1500.1-Pioneer DEH-80prs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUV bass Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Is this right? The larger circles are the mids (4 ohm- wired in series to 8 ohm) and the smaller circle is one 8ohm tweeter. Would the final load be 8 ohms?

tacomabanga1986 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 ya, most of the xovers ive got the ohm load is mostly on mid/woofer than tweet, but a little info about a speakers ohm load is that, the ohm load a speaker u see has is at rest (not moveing) when moveing it gives or takes resistance (goes up in ohm load or down) why theres a set point is that it gives u something to base off of so u got it in your mind where ur at with something so u dont blow up stuff thats why u hear about "independance rise" while a sub is in a box but with an amp, depending on your budget ied pick up something like this http://www.audiosavings.com/products/DJ-Professional-Amplifier/TECHNICAL-PRO-1500-WATT-INTEGRATED-DJ-AMPLIFIER-PRE-AMP/RXB503.aspx its cheap, should do good for what u want, and its not a car amp, should give u a cleaner power output, i mean its not the best ie crown and what knot, but its good for the price Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUV bass Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 So I could wire the speakers to the crossover like that and be safe for an 8ohm amp? Thanks for the amp suggestion too, I think I'll look around at some local pawn shops and see what they have, and if I don't find something I like there, I'll really consider the one you suggested Quote 2008 Toyota Corolla -Skar VVX 12 D4 (2)-Skar SK1500.1-Pioneer DEH-80prs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUV bass Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 So with this kind of crossover, is it the same as like a car speaker crossover, where you put in a 4 ohm woofer and 4 ohm tweeter and get a final load of 4 ohms? Except in this case, it would be 8 ohm speakers, and a final load of 8 ohms.

tacomabanga1986 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 pritty much, but most car crossovers are built a little better and usally take more power but in some cases, home audio is built a little better, thats why most of em dont need to be lower than 8ohms and dont take much power to get loud this is different from pa audio tho, my buddy had one hell of a setup in the shop, 2 b&w i think 3ways with 18'' slot ported, horn mid n horn tweet, ran from a realistic 300w 2ch radio and got loud as shit for 150wrms each side, and they take 1000rms each lol, just make sure ur boxs are good for the speakers, are u useing the pa style mids, and if u want loud ied try either 8's or something, but being its going in ur car after collage i can see where 6&1/2's would work, but the bigger mids aint that much more, and would help to keep up with the super tweets, just my .02 good luck with what ever man, should be a killer party setup, imo ied look at pawnshops and what knot for a powered sub like u would use in a home surroundsound setup to hook up with it to help the bass output Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
