Active Set Up Help

Recommended Posts

Currently I'm running two sets of RF T3's. One pair are in the kick panels, other pair are in the stock location in a 08 Tundra, (mids in door, tweets in dashboard). A RF T600-4 is powering up the T3's. In the near future I want to go active. I already have the 360.3, and want to start stocking up on the equipment I need. I was thinking of buying a RF P200-2 for the tweets. Thinking of wiring them in parallel which will drop them to 2ohms giving them 100w. For the mids a RF T400-2, hooking them up the same way giving them 200w to each side. Is this a good way to approach it or is their a better way to go about going active? If I can use my T600 in the setup let me know. If afraid its too much power for the tweeters.

Trying to time align the same drivers in different locations playing the same frequencies is going to be a real bitch if you can even achieve what you are wanting for a sound stage.

This will completely defeat your purpose for running active ... The MAIN reason for active setups is time alignment for EACH individual driver ... You only need two (pair) tweeters for your front stage anyways ...

My point was you can use as many drivers you want, just make sure you have one driver per channel to run correct active ...

Saying if you have 4 tweeters, and 4 mid range / midbass drivers, you need 8 channels of operation ...
