jk13 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Okay: Channel 1 and 2 each have a coax, (which is a woofer and a tweeter) PLUS another tweeter, right? --So at woofer frequencies you'll be at 4 ohms for 60 watts to each of the two woofers. --BUT at tweeter frequencies, since you have the coax 4 ohm tweeter AND the extra 4 ohm tweeter in parallel you'll be at 2 ohms. So 60 watts to the coax tweeter and 60 watts to the extra tweeter. Static drops are my bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conbon Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 You bought extra tweeters to go with tweeters you already have. But you want more mid bass... so youre saying, get rid of the front door speakers and then buy mid range speakers. but the tweeters i have cant handle 120 watts so now what do i do 2013 Ford Focus Hatchback SE Kicker CS61234 Kicker 40CS674 Kicker KST25 Sundown Audio SA-12 D2 Rockford Fosgate t1000-1bdcp Rockford Fosgate t400-4 Audio Control LC7i Kinetik HC2000 0/1 Gauge Big 3 Upgrade Beer, babes, and bass.

Said EACH tweeter will see 60 watts--the one in the coax, and the separate one. 120 watts of power divided by two speakers is 60 each. If you lose one tweeter, you will end up back at 4 ohms and they'll still get only 60 watts. If you want more power to the door speaker, yes, you will have to buy a pair of 2 ohm woofers for the doors. Just be sure they don't have tweeters attached to them if you want to run the tweeters you already own. Static drops are my bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A component set will basically do what a coax will, but you can put the tweeter where you want it. Many times they have better crossovers and better drivers than their respective coax versions.

CstrokerV Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 LOL you are fine run the coaixles in pairs on two front channel at 2 ohms and the tweeters on the rears make sure you cross over the tweets high enough and that the tweeters can handle the 60 rms don/t know why with 25 years of experience jk13 couldnt tell you to do that my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many times they have better crossovers and better drivers than their respective coax versions. okay so they basically just dont produce the high frequency noises like a coaxial would do bc they have the tweets. these just do what a plain old speaker will do right? and how my car is set up (2013 Ford Focus SE Hatchback) it has a built in spot for the tweeters. so what you mean by "putting them where i want" means putting them there? 2013 Ford Focus Hatchback SE Kicker CS61234 Kicker 40CS674 Kicker KST25 Sundown Audio SA-12 D2 Rockford Fosgate t1000-1bdcp Rockford Fosgate t400-4 Audio Control LC7i Kinetik HC2000 0/1 Gauge Big 3 Upgrade Beer, babes, and bass.

CstrokerV Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 if you already have the coaxils and the extra set of tweets put the coaxiles in the doors at the mid spot and put the extra tweeters in the factory tweet location my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CstrokerV Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 what tweeters you have ? the crossover point.... they should have came with an inline crossover so forget what i said just put the rears on highpass and the highest freq it will go you should be fine my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
