Guest Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 It is not that could could not wire it, it would technically work, it is the fact you are losing all of your musical control. For starters, you would probably have a get a nice crossover just to make sure the 8s, the 6.5s, the pro tweets, and the wave guides all get the appropriate frequencies since they all need to be crossed over at different points. Also, you would lose ALL of your fading abilities. So you could never time align, or even simply switch your music front playing in the back to the front or side to side. That is all diminished if you only use one amp. It makes things a lot simpler if you choose an amp for the mids (8s/6.5s) and a another one for the highs (tweets). If you insist on running one single amp you could get a six channel amp. I know gckless is selling a badass one called the Zed Leviathan that does 150wrs x 6 at 4ohm AND it has a sick built in crossover. You could run two channels with tweets, two channels with 6.5s, and two channels with 8s. That would a much better of an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 It's the different types of speakers that are the problem , you wouldn't want 6.5's and 8's on the same channel or the two different types of tweeters on the same channel. For what you want to do you would need 8 channels of amplification. I think a six channel amp would be fine as I think he should pick between either the pro audio tweets or the wave guides. I do not think both are necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I don't think they are either but people want what they want and if he's going to do it he might as well do it right. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

I was just trying to simply it to one amp. A six channel is pretty much the max. Otherwise, two amps is inevitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akaak Posted January 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I see what you guys are saying. the only reason why I would even want 6.5s and 8s is because I think they would be aesthetically pleasing but I think I'll go with just 8s. Right now I have 4 soundqubed 6.5s. 2 on each channel and 2 tweeters that get their own channels. The 2 tweeters have been blown for so long so all I really have is 4 6.5s receiving almost 100 rms each. They get real loud for just 4 speakers. I almost feel like 2 of the channels are just wasted. I could just get rid of the 2 tweeters and put 2 6.5s more on each channel. Then I would have twice my output, how necessary are tweeters though? I would love to just get 8 8s and call it a day but then the range is shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSkippyJ Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 personally, this all seems way overboard for a pair of 15s. Personally that is... I would use the 4 6.5s (2 in each door) and a good pair (or 2 pairs) of tweets on your current 4 channel amp if it was me. But that is just my personal opinion, doesn't mean that's what you would like It will probably help you to keep it simpler though.

akaak Posted January 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Ya I think I'm just going to put 2 tweeters per front channel and 4 8s per rear channel. It would be easier to wire. And would make tuning significantly easier. I just feel like the 2 channels driving the tweeters are "wasted" cuz that's a total of 400+ watts that I could be using for soMe thing I'd get more out of. I don't know.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 So use the 4 channel for the mids and get a small 2 channel for the super tweets. Super tweets don't need very much power to be loud. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
