pokertramp Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 Probably a stupid question but how do you hook up a center channel speaker?
Colin - STAPUFT Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 Bridge it on one of your amps MONO. I assume you are putting this in a regular 2 channel stereo, not a surround sound. It helps if the center channel is a 8 ohm or even higher impedance- that way it doesn't draw gobs of power from your amp- frying what should be a relatively small speaker anyway. Remember- you aren't supposed to actually hear a localized center channel speaker. It is just there to fill in any "dead" spot in your imaging. www.partsexpress.com has lots of small single speakers that will fill the bill. 12 - 12"s in the STAY PUFT 1989 Chevy Astro Build & Comment Log Un-Interrupted Build LogYouTube Channel Chevy Trailblazer 5.1 Dolby Digital DTS Install You have a beard of a mysterious sea captain.

Forevrbumpn Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 yeah, a mono source, bandpassed to concentrate more on vocals usually in a real world for center, all you need is a midrange playing from 300hz - 3000hz somewhere around there anything higher, and lower, should just be picked up by the door speakers I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.
pokertramp Posted April 2, 2009 Author Report Posted April 2, 2009 OK I thought it would get hooked up to the head unit. So I would hook it up to the sub amp??? I was thinking of going with surround sound. Maybe I am better off with a audio control EQt?????? I listen to mostly death metal so trying to get the perfect sound with all the instruments is tough. What do you recommend to get the sound quality but also have SPL?
