rockFord_Expedition Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Are you running an active set up?if i knew what that meant id tell ya You want to run midbass drivers and tweeters off of a two channel amp. Not a good idea. Are you going to hook up the mids to one side and the tweets to another? How do you plan on wiring this. uhg yeah the four pwxs on one channel at 2 ohms and then the ft1s with crossovers on the other channel. I had a bad feeling my plan would be an epic fail :'( There's more to it than this, but you would totally lose left and right separation. You know that right?

rockFord_Expedition Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Don't feel dumb. It's called learning. I wish I could go back and tell the younger me this: make sure your equipment is a good match before buying it. Going active means you are using an active crossover vs. passive, or none at all. Google the two to learn more, but basically active means you are filtering you signal before the amp, and the crossover requires its own power source. Passive is like what you get when you buy a set of components.

rockFord_Expedition Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Do you own those speakers and the amp you mentioned already? If yes, can you return either?

rockFord_Expedition Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 If you keep the amp I. Would personally run 2 sets of components off of it, but that's just my opinion. You can use the speakers but you need proper frequency filtering and a 4 channel amp.
