Runing components active

[01 S-10]

I have Mb Quart components rated at 170 rms per side and was considering running them active. My amp is 100x4 and I'm only running 100 watts to each side, but if I run active each mid and tweet will see quite a bit more power. Anyone think there will be problems or can they handle it?

I'm actually worried more about the tweeters

does your amp have a banpass setting?

What are your Tweeters rated at? Thats what would worry me. you might have to low the gains or -dbs to keep from over powering them. They will shine going active though. I am pushing my T265 comps with a T400-4 at 75 RMS and they sound way better than bi-amped on the same power.

Yes it has bandpass, it's a Cadence zrs C9

That's the thing, there is no rms rating I can find for the mids and tweets individually, just as a pair

Well i would contact MB quarts on there ratings then before you go active on that amp just to make sure you dont blow the tweeters. Thats a bit of power. RF rates the T2 tweeters at 75 RMS and thats what there getting and its really loud, lowered the db by -5 on HU and turned gains down just a fuzz.

Which set do you have

Which set do you have

Q series, not the new ones but the ones from about 08 or 09

Also I just looked and the tweeters are 6 ohm so that will help cut the power down a bit
