mrwigglezdj Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 well it was easy to do the 8 6.5's to the amp at 2 ohm, but now ive got more 6.5's and the 4 tweets im starting to confuse myself ect. mids will consist of 12 6.5's single 4 ohms @ 50wrms each and 4 1inch tweets unknown ohm's @ 50wrms for a total of 16 speakers total, i can get a 4ch amp and run 4 speakers per ch, and have 1 tweeter on each ch, so it will be 3 6.5 and 1 tweet per ch.... and thats 1ohm or 4ohm? if the tweet is also 4ohm.... i think i answerd my own question but can someone double check and makesure im on the rite track, and or should i run my tweets on a seperate amp from the mids? and 200 wrms x4 shouldnt be a hard amp to find with a nice built in adjustable xover... i hope Quote Americas loudest work van2006 iasca heavyweight bassboxing champion at 150.4 db with 60second average TL8 memphis PR15s,12 memphis PR6.5's coax,4 memphis PR 1inch tweets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do those crossovers have an output that is -12db? I only ask the second because the tweeters might be a little too loud depending on where you plan on mounting them...IMO.

If that helps any.

Ray Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 running active or passive? And the tweets will not affect the overall load.

Stephen Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 and as far as active and passive ,. thats sound quality stuff and i have no idea about.... passive is running a crossover between the amp and the speakers active is the signal is processed before it goes to the amp. Quote you can cook bacon shirtless if you're not a pussy...lol not hatin, but am i wrong here it looks as if the amp is not grounded its hooked directly to the battery. it that the way it should be.

Stephen Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 You can run 4 speakers per channel for a 4 ohm load on each channel and set a hpf at about 60-80hz, the tweeters crossovers will take care of the block everything so its not damaged.

01xtreme Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 I think they are passive.
