Alex M Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 So I'm planning on upgrading my door speakers and I want to add 2 of the same speakers to the system by making a center console so the front would be set up like this- ][. However I havnt found any information on how I should build the speaker section of the center console. Do I build it so that they are enclosed, opened up so they share the same air within the interior of the console? Also should I use seperat tweeters and a horn (the speakers going into the door have built in tweeters)? Here are the speakers going into the doors and center console DS18 PRO-HY6.4B 6.5". Thank yall so much for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never Enough Bass Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 (edited) I would go sealed the speakers share the same air but if u have 1 on each side u would probably have to reverse the polarity on 1 of them and if your tweeters are down low I would add some higher Edited May 26 by Never Enough Bass Missed a word Quote 06 Charger Pioneer double din Pioneer 6.5 and 6×9's Knukoncept Krystal kable rca's 0 ga knukoncept kolossus wire Big 3 same wire ^ 1 run 8g karma ss speaker wire Sundown sia 3500d at 1ohm 2 Sundown U series 12's Duralast platinum agm H7 (Main) Xs power d3400 Trying to find a ho alt   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes exactly components up front so a mid bass and a tweeters will sound better Quote 06 Charger Pioneer double din Pioneer 6.5 and 6×9's Knukoncept Krystal kable rca's 0 ga knukoncept kolossus wire Big 3 same wire ^ 1 run 8g karma ss speaker wire Sundown sia 3500d at 1ohm 2 Sundown U series 12's Duralast platinum agm H7 (Main) Xs power d3400 Trying to find a ho alt   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex M Posted May 29 Author Report Share Posted May 29 What are some things an amplifier needs to be good for powering tweeters? Such as full pass, low pass crossover....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafaseles Posted May 29 Report Share Posted May 29 (edited) If you are using a passive crossover, or DSP, you need at least a full range function on the amp (payable up to 20k hz) If you're using the amplifiers crossovers to protect the tweeters, you'll need a HPF (high pass filter) that can be set at least up to (and just guessing here) 4,500 hz or so. It depends on the capabilities of the tweeters you're using. Basically, you're just trying to keep them from playing too low of a frequency that will damage the tweeter Edited May 29 by Dafaseles Quote 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here.
