MusicHead804 Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I'm thinking about adding some supertweeters to my car. does supertweeters require a separate crossover or do they come with a crossover ? will i have to buy new wires to run from my deck or can i just split the wire from my car door speakers?

KenSchoen Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Ok let's see how this goes. 1. Depends on the maker 2. Wiring in parallel is the same wether it's done at the source or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Depends on the tweeter, some come with inline crossovers, some don't. Also, do NOT split the wire in your door. And do not use your deck, if you are adding super tweets, you should get a separate amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW supertweets are very loud. For it to sound good at all you better have some good midrange to go along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguels Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 why not? super tweeters need less power to get loud. you can run them off the H/U if you like. i would get an inline crossover though so you wont mess with the setting that will mess up the signal to the other amps my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two speakers and two tweeters, in most cars, prolly would not sound that great. Maybe in like a small pickup and thats it. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguels Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 he dont have to wire other speakers to the deck.. i have my tweeters and 4 6x8 in my car and it does not sound bad at all.. he can also run the tweeters on the same amp as other speakers he will have to separate them from channels though i also had my door speaker in line with my super tweeters at one point and did not sound bad. tuned the amp for the mids and added a inline crossover for the teeters. if he wants to go active i wouldnt recommend it though wiring inline with the other speakers wouldnt be different than running a component set. the only difference is you tune the amp for the mid and you let the inline crossover do the work for the tweeters.. and also wiring parallel will lower the ohm load making the amp give more power my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 True, I guess the way the op read, it sounded like he is only using his deck, no amp. So you could split your door speaker wire, but for what he is doing, it is prolly easier just to use components or honestly coaxials would be even easier.

Miguels Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 my deck has built in crossovers so it helps. him on the other hand might not so might not work for him or it might my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had your speaker and tweet (with inline xover) split off the same wire, how did the deck xover help you? If you crossed that channel over at like 3kHz for the tweet, the speaker would be also getting crossed over at 3kHz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
