OrionStang Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Im going to be running a Leviathan, 180x6, which is perfect for my woofers and tweeters. However, my 3" mids are not rated as high, and in past experience, has been the weak link in the Hertz XL setup. Even if I leave the gain all the way down for them, I still feel they will be overpowered. I don't have the room for a 4". So I either risk blowing them, or look at other 3" options (though I haven't seen any with that high an rms) Thoughts and opinions please.

Robert8252 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Your tweeters probably won't need anywhere near all that power. I'd get the tweeters gained in first and then set the gains for the midrange until it sounds how you want. I ran the hertz HiEnergy and Mille 3" mid range active off an amp that could put out over 100 watts and never had an issue. Crazy to see the 3" mid look like a subwoofer but it sounded great and never stumbled. 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...
OrionStang Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 P99 will handle all tuning. @Robert, the tweeter gain will likely be all the way down as well, not worried about that. Open to all options, even a small 2 channel. But that kinda defeats the purpose of the 6-channel amp LOL. Don't know what to do, call this a brainstorming thread SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert8252 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Sorry for my horrible taste in music. Believe I had the tweeters on the 60 watt channel, midrange on 60-100 watt channel and mids on 100 or 150 watt channel. Can't remember without looking it up. This was active using the amps crossovers at the time. 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...

Kyblack76 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Can the 99 do 4 way active? Attenuate them if you can. SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadeTreeMechanic Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Here is one out of the box. A resistor in series with the driver would help to drop the current down. A 2 ohm resistor wouldn't get that hot as 2/3 of the power would be dropped across the driver. 91 C350 Centurion conversion ( Four Door One Ton Bronco) 250A Alternator (Second Alternator Coming Soon) G65 AGM Up Front / Two G31 AGM in Back Pioneer 80PRS CT Sounds AT125.2 / CT Sounds 6.5 Strato Pro component Front Stage CT Sounds AT125.2 / Lanzar Pro 8" coax w/compression horn tweeter Rear Fill FSD 5000D 1/2 ohm (SoundQubed 7k Coming Soon) Two HDS315 Four Qubes Each 34hz (Two HDC3.118 and New Box Coming Soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
