3-Way Capable?


Chris

Recommended Posts

I'm wondering if anyone can describe to me how an amp that says "3-way capable" functions. I understand this somewhat and awhile back I took a 2 channel Pioneer amp and wired a 4ohm sub to each channel and another 4ohm sub to the bridged outputs at the same time. I had all 3 subs playing like this and they sounded loud, clear, and I didnt blow any fuses or anything. Is this what 3-way capable means?  :mellow:

i maybe wrong but the way i understood it was you take like a pair of regular speakers and wire them one per channel then take a sub and bridge the amp(using a 2 channel amp) with the sub you use a lp x over like the kinda you have inline not the one on the amp, and you have the amp set on full or ap. Then it plays all 3 speakers the two on full pass and the sub on low pass.

is this all on one amp?

Yeah I had 3 subs going off 1 2 channel amp and nothing went wrong. Had it in the car for a while actually, but the amp had a hi-pass crossover built in so I wasnt runnin rca's maybe this is why nothing blew?

3 way means like 3 way active or 4 way active.

you have your

-Highs

-Midrange

-Midbass

-Sub (this one would make it a 4 way if you have all of the above )

Would this mean i could hook up a 6x9 to each channel and then a 4ohm svc sub to the bridged output?
