Stoneylowe Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 I’m building an active 2 way setup for my doors and despite my research can’t seem to find an answer to this question. Say I have 120rms mids and 15rms tweeters, will i be able to run those active on the same 100rms/channel 4ch amp and compensate for the power handling differences by lowering the gain on the tweeter channel? Or will i still blow the everloving fuck out of the tweets even with minimal gain? Sorry if that’s a stupid question, I’m just kinda stumped and wanna get my speakers ordered. I’d like to avoid super tweeters but those look to be the only ones that handle anywhere near 100watts. Thanks y’all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowfkncar Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 You'll be fine if you set the gains properly and watch your EQ. Good read below for those diving into active tweets. https://www.audiofrog.com/community/tech-tips/to-cap-or-not-to-cap-tweeters-in-systems-with-active-crossovers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronT Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 I set my active speakers with volt meter. I find impedance at end of wire to amp, then set accordingly using ohms law Deck at max clean volume, EQ as I would have it set (I keep it flat) no boost, loud or any crap. And dial in VOLTAGES What your asking is exactly why 4 channel amps are great to use, flexibility and many options. It's what they were made for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoneylowe Posted February 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Ok cool thanks guys, that’s kinda what i figured but I’ve never dove into active setups and didn’t wanna blow my shit up on the first try. Much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
