zydrix Posted December 16, 2012 Report Posted December 16, 2012 If you are afraid of overpowering them at all. Just turn the amp down some. U don't need to get every single watt out of the amp. The mids an highs will scream on very low power. So u will be fine My build 98 s10 2.2 3 american bass HD 15s with psi soft parts. (on there way here) atomic at-3000.1 (soon) 146.2 outlaw @39hz., bad alt an bad batt when termed (old 2 12" build) alpine 6.5s in doors infinty 4x6s in dash. clarion cz201 HU. mechman 240a H/O alt stuff i still need. SHCA 2/0 wire SHCA 1/0 to 2/0 adapters Atomic AT-3000.1 Lots of sound deadner new mids an highs, still debating on what to do. A few Deka g31 batts.
ds1919 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 to answer your question about what will the load that the amp sees when using a 4ohm midbass and a 8ohm tweeter - It will see a 8ohm load at frequencies in the tweeter range, and will see 4 ohm load on the mid/midbass range. why? because you're gonna cross them over with a crossover, I'm pretty sure you are. So, no worries on that. One important thing that you did not include was the sensitivity of the tweeter. How many dB does it produce when 1W is put to it at 1meter away? You would want to get a mid that is close or the same. Or perhaps just a tad less than the tweeter (I like good tweeter). You'll be wanting to get some mids/bassmids with quite beefy magnet structures to handle 150wrms. They are out there. Matching is important too for sound quality. Or, you could get two sets of mids that handle less power, and you would double your output...more work to match with tweets tho.
