vitochelopez Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Can a single 4ohm subwoofer be used as a midbass/sub driver? Can it be wired directly to my 4 channel AB amplifier? I have mids already wired to my amp and was planning on switching them out as is with some 6" subs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert8252 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 All depends on the driver. You said 6" and bedsides JL, DD, and Tangband I don't know of any actual subwoofers worth a damn in that size so most will likely most will work fine in the 50-500hz range but you'll have to look at the recommended frequency response from the manufacturer. There's a lot more going on in the 100hz+ range than the 80 and below and a regular sub will fall on its face when asked to play this high and can easily burn its self up. Also do you have the proper processing to control the bandwidth? 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitochelopez Posted August 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I had the massive audio summo 64 in mind and playing them with no hpf on full? I have enclosures built in my doors already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakin Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Use a lower-midrange driver for that. Use a sub as a sub.

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

vitochelopez Posted August 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Are you saying it won't work? You can't play these mini substitute on an AB amplifier at full pass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakin Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I'm saying you won't get a frequency response that you want, unless the speaker is made to the frequencies you want. I haven't looked much into 6" subs, but if they are supposed to be subs I would make sure they can actually play from 100-600Hz.
