2 15's in a jetta?? holy shit, what kinda cubes u givin them 15's each

This is not what I thought when I read "3 way".....

rumor has it kicker subs actually make your car quieter than it was without subs

.02 cents

Thanks for the thread dump!

ironically you just dumped in your own thread.

carry on o.p.

i did, i told him kicker is garbage, in a unique way.

thats your opinion and has nothing to do with his 3 way front stage.

now kindly stay out if you cant help

Thanks, they're in the backseat at the moment as they are only temporary until i can get some 12's to put in the trunk. I've crunched the numbers on them time and time again and they just aren't going to work in the trunk.

Unsure on numbers since it is a prefab box FTL.

Cant complain, got the whole sub setup for 150.

Thanks roscoe!

I guess I will just have to get 8 ohm mids to make this simpler on myself.

[79Bronco]

Alright, time to get complicated.

Let's say, for sake of argument, that I have an 8 ohm mid and an 8 ohm tweet. Hooking these up to the amplifier with a passive crossover in between will present 8 and 8 ohm load on the amplifier. Let's bridge this 4 channel amp. What will happen? See attached pic.

This seems too simple. What's going to xplod?

[rockFord_Expedition]

I am pretty sure impedance seen by the amp is determined by the crossover in this case.

This.... The crossover most likely would combine the impedance of the 2 drivers... unless the crossover was bi-ampable <<(spell check?)

[rockFord_Expedition]

Oh, and the impedance at the amp doesn't change just because you bridge 2 channels together if that's what your drawing asks.
