oldsoundguy Posted November 22, 2013 Report Posted November 22, 2013 So if I want to run two front 6.5 and tweets in the front off a 2 channel amp will I be splitting the RMS rating on the amp per channel between the 6.5 and the tweet? Is it better to run a 4 channel so each speaker and each tweet gets its own channel?

Soccerballzs Posted November 22, 2013 Report Posted November 22, 2013 are you running the crossovers that came with them? http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/garage/vehicle/2438-jeep-commander/I Pioneer P99RSAmpere 38002-Ampere 125/44-6.5 inch Hertz HSK XL Mids4-8 inch JL Audio ZR Midwoofer 2-5.25 Satori Mids2-Morel Tweeters, 2 Hertz Milles 3 inch on A pillars2-Hertz Silk tweeters DC Audio Level 5/12 Skyhigh Wire Mechman 320 XS Power D3100MO Funniest Thread of the Year 2013: http://www.stevemead...dy-being-a-pos/
SQ SUBARU Posted November 22, 2013 Report Posted November 22, 2013 If you are using the passive crossovers that came with the components then they do not split the power, they only cross the mid and tweeters over. If u aren't using any crossover after the amp (running active, each speaker off its own channel then yes whatever power the amp puts out power wise on that channel then the is the power ur speakers will c Ipad mini as main source unit, w/ Kenwood KDC-U7056BT,Digital Designs CS6.5 2 way components, Alpine PDX-F4 4 channel & PDX-M6 mono, x1 Jbl P1224 12", single ported box @ 34hz, front doors + trunk sound deadened w/ dynamat xtreme,all knukonceptz wiring/fusing. *In progress - Audison bit ten d dsp, fully optical.
oldsoundguy Posted November 22, 2013 Author Report Posted November 22, 2013 I do not have the mids and tweets yet or the amp. That is why I am asking. The speakers come with cross overs for the tweets which I assume I will run. They speakers are rated at 150 RMS each and the amp is rated at 125 at 12.8 (CT sounds 125.2) I was wondering if it would sound better with a four channel or two. Maybe 4 channel is over kill for what I want. 80prs Arc Audio Xdi 1200.6 (using active crossovers) Freaking awesome amplifier Incriminator IA 10.1 Focal PS 130v 5.25 (doors) 4" Faital pro Neo (kick panels) 3" Faital pro Neo and focal tweets( dash) DC Audio level 3 12" custom box designed by joex built by me AGM front, XS 750SE batteries rear DC 180 alt 99 Toyota Tacoma extra cab http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/179476-my-small-build-turned-into-the-ongoing-build/
SQ SUBARU Posted November 22, 2013 Report Posted November 22, 2013 It doesn't matter if u use a 2 or 4 channel. As long as you have at least 2 channels to power the components if u run them passive. A 4 channel may be cheaper and then u can bridge it?
