So friday is when shit is goin down and im converting to pro audio. Now, I have a shitty 4 channel (kicker 350.4) and im gonna run my 2 super tweets off channels 1&2 and run my 4 mids off channels 3&4. Now im doing 2 mids per channel and I wanna know... where do I connect the positives and negatives? Do I wire them to parallel in the back by the amp or what? Kinda a weird question I know, but idk what do to lol

What the ohm load of the speakers

If they are all 4ohm

Run it as a 4ch amp ch 1&3 left and 2&4 right door

The tweeter is easy 1 per ch at 4ohm getting around 60rms each

The mids in parrell at 2ohm final

Giving around 75-90 per ch 37-45rms each

If you have a dd1 set the mids at -5 and the the super about 1/2 way between -5 and 0db

You'll also need a good eq and I mean a good 5or7 band eq as there a bitch to tune

My hu has a 5 band and why set the mids at -5db?

Thats an excellent question. Id tune them with the 0dB tone. I did that for my whole frontstage, and am absolutely happy.

Edit: I agree with him on the EQ. When youre running active, sound processing is key. You need to be able to highpass your tweets and bandpass your mids. I also feel that you need to equalize your soundstage. Id prefer more than 5 bands of equilization. I have 31 bands per front channel and 27 per rear.

i tell you now why because youll have no mids in comparison to tweeters with 60rms going to them

thats why idd set 0 head,-3 tweeters and -5 mids, and fine tune on eq from there

He has four mids though. Even if the super tweets are overbearing, instead of adding distortion to the mids, I would lower the gain of the tweeter channels. That's just me though.
