ear2ear Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 What's up guys? I do lots of reading, but wonder if I should rethink my mids/highs amp... I know this amp is almost too big, but I had my reasons for buying it at the time. Anyways, my T1000-4 will be running 2 sets of T1652-S - front stage of my ext cab truck. Going active with 2 mids per channel and 2 tweets per channel. 2 ohms or 8 ohms? Birthsheet is 205 x 4 @ 4ohms --- 359 x 4 @ 2ohms --- maybe 115ish? x 4 @ 8ohms Seems like too little or too much. What do you think? Should I see if 8 ohms keeps up with the sub stage? No back seat. Currently building a new box. subs up, ports up. 4 RF T1 12s. 9 ft3 net. 138 in2 @ 33hz. 3240 watts Thanks a lot!

HunterJohnson Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 I'd say ur tweets would be harsh at 2 ohms but you can always turn the gain down. I'd go with 8 ohms and try it less harmonic distortions Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ear2ear Posted August 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 That's kind of what I was thinking. Less power, but hopefully cleaner. Tweets are cross aimed & molded into the sail panels.

Colin - STAPUFT Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 ^ second on starting out with 8 ohms. I would even try it on mids and highs.... but the tweeters for sure. My $$$ is on there being resistors in your passive x-overs that lower the wattage to the tweets anyway.... 12 - 12"s in the STAY PUFT 1989 Chevy Astro Build & Comment Log Un-Interrupted Build LogYouTube Channel Chevy Trailblazer 5.1 Dolby Digital DTS Install You have a beard of a mysterious sea captain.

ear2ear Posted August 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 I never did run the passives, so I have no baseline @ 4 ohms. But yeah I assumed the passives consumed a little power if not attenuated on purpose. I also have a T400-2, but damn near need a couple T600-4s to run everything at 4 ohms. I just hate to waste all that power of the T1000-4 and some of the drivers' potential...
