BassAddict32 Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 well, i have one of 3 choices. i'm not worried about getting all this good audio and whatnot. it's just something for my computer and something kinda small. right now, i'm running a 300 watt 2 channel amp, a dual 60 watt h/u, 1 6.5" roadmaster, 5 durabrand tweeters. i have 4 choices..... 1. i can get 2 more sets of roadmasters and have 5 roadmaster mids and 5 tweeters(not counting the ones in the roadmaster box. i take those out) 2. take away the tweeters and just get 5 brand new sets of the roadmasters making it 10 mids(in this case, i'll leave the tweeters in just for the heck of it) 3. get a 3 channel amp and leave all the tweeters PLUS 4 new sets of roadmasters making it 9 mids and 5 tweeters(no roadmaster) can you help me pick?? once again, it's just for a computer so i'm not looking for anything window shaking as you can see from my ideas. it's pretty loud as is, i just want to make it a bit louder. 1994 Ford F150 reg cab 2 HFX 12's Audiopipe APSM-1300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MunkeyQ Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Coming from a home audio guy... Dump the lot and buy a decent used hi-fi and hook that to the PC. Having 5 tweeters will seriously mess up your imaging, not to mention sounding very harsh (I assume they're not padded down?), and 5 midwoofers are just a mess unless you use them in a line array. Note that car midwoofers are designed with a high Q to be used in an open baffle, just like how the door is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't take this the wrong way, but unless you're using the tweeters as part of a line array to take advantage of close-coupling, there is really no reason to have 5 of them. Increasing the number of drivers increases power handling but it won't affect sensitivity. You need only one tweeter per side, along with one midwoofer on each side and a sub. 5 tweeters means you'll be getting comb filtering and since the sound isn't coming from a point source (or as close to one as you can get), bad imaging.

cunokyle Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Dump the lot and buy a decent used hi-fi and hook that to the PC. This. Even if you are not going for imaging, or a great sounding set-up, at least gets something hlaf way decent and you will be a lot happier than you will with any of the stuff you have now. The woofers might suck all the air out your lungs (if you stand too close) When the monster hums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
