ham4864 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 i want to run my tweets of my front channels on my amp set to about 8000hz. Some tweeters come with a crossover would i still need to use some bass blockers and if so how many Hz.

Bump4life Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 buy cross overs if the tweets dont come with them.

ham4864 Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 well i was using the crossover from the amp straight to the tweeters set to about 9000hz HPF I was told that this still was not a good practice. One of my previous tweeters went out(it was oem) maybe i gave it to much power. I just dont want to be going through tweeters every few months.

But they do have differences in the fact that they will see different power from either way.

ham4864 Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 thanks for clearing that up for me guys, but also so I've heard people setting there tweeter hz range anywhere from 3000hz all the way to 13000hz is this just personal taste or safe practice?

nik12937 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I feel that it's more to taste, I doubt that overpowering them at 3000Hz is any more risky than at 13000Hz, maybe a little more power handling but not much. Quote A kid I know says he's running 3000 watts to an MTX sub. I kept my expectations low since most people think MAX is what the amp produces. Look in his car, amplifier is not only a BOSS, but says 3000 watts max, 500 watts rms... WHAT?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
