newls1 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I just blew my passenger side woofer, I could always warrenty them (cause sonic electronix is good like that) but It will just happen again, soooooo. To get the most out of my mids/high amp ( POS MTX) I can get 90watts RMS @ 2ohm, so im thinking this time around I think it might be wise to get a component set that is 2ohm. I'm almost glad this happened cause this RF set just didnt get loud enough. I see JBL has a set that is 2ohm for 134$ my budget is 150$ Does JBL make a quality set? Also, I was thinking of this. Can I run the 2 front channels on my MTX thunder amp @ 2ohm, and the 2 rear channels @ 4ohm? Or NO.

Boon Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 How on earth did they blow with what can have been all of 50wrms to them?! Clipping city?? If you want loud fronts, look at the install first. Have you deadened your doors and sealed the access holes? Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raytard Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 the 2ohm jbl powers are beasts i love the sound, nothing can touch the midbass, and they can take like 150rms all day, so 90 wont even phase them (so long as you're not clipping it and have a decent hpf setting) Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newls1 Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 I was just thinking of this.......can I just replace "BOTH" woofers with (lets say) a quality alpine/R.F coaxial speaker and just connect it to the crossover. See what im saying. Instead of ripping everything out of my doors to return for an RMA, or spend money that I really dont have, I can just replace the RF woofers with a 4ohm coaxial woofer that can handle more power. My local shop will sell me infinity kappa coax set for $85. So when all is done, my front sound stage would be alpine woofer (mid bass) RF tweets, and RF crossover.....Will this be OK?

raytard Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 yea infinity is usually crossed over much lower than rf tho, it may sound funky, but shouldnt damage anything key word is may....it may be perfectly fine Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehoe92 Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 I'm looking at some infinity comp sets that run at 2 ohm. they are rated at 93db and will take that 90 watts. Quote Wouldnt be thehoe92 without teh purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newls1 Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) well, tomorrow im going to try this out. My local sound shop is great, Im sure if the alpine isnt so great, i'll try with a different set **EDIT** how are the alpine type "S" speakers? Are they decent?

meade916 Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 wait, what blew? the mid or the tweet? you do know the x-overs have light-bulb fusing in them to protect the tweet right? check that - also, you might want to scope that amp and set the gains properly if you are going thru mids and highs frequently like that. If your within RMS and your NOT clipping, speakers are hard to break. oh and i dont know how loud your trying to get, but maybe the answer isnt so much a brand change as it is maybe adding more mids/highs. Your only gonna get so much out of 1 pair of seperates bro... oh, and i second the recomendation for the T162s next time.....its their power series mids/highs.....punch is coo (what your running) but its not the best RF offers - Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!
