BMS Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 On my head unit the font has 4 ohm speakers but the back has 2 ohm. The manufacturer says to use 4-8 ohm speakers. To my knowledge it is fine to run lower impedance speakers so long as you don't push the amp to distortion and keep the amplifier cool (both of which i am doing). Please correct me if i'm wrong. Anyway i was wondering not what the fader setting does but how it does it in detail. I was hoping that i could use the fader to both balance the output of the front and rear and reduce any extra stress caused due to the 2 ohm speakers. Also on my head unit sony mex-xb100bt the fader goes from 0 to 10 is that decibels (i don't think so but i cant think of any other unit of measurement)?

SnowDrifter Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 On mobile so I don't feel like typing up all the intricate details... but the jist of it is YMMV. You might be fine, you might break something. Really no way of knowing as it'll vary from install to install. Easiest way is to install some 4 ohm speakers and rest easy ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotorCityFats13 Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 you shouldn't hear the rears from the front so fade them accordingly so you dont destroy your sound stage and imaging ... ive ran 2 sets of speaker on a channel off HU power with no problems "20 years ago" lol but I use amps for everything now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
