Nova Posted December 25, 2009 Report Posted December 25, 2009 (edited) I'm picking up a couple Rockford Fosgate Power T1652-S component systems and I have a wiring question. I would go from my deck to my amp with RCA's, then to the crossover, then the speakers, correct? My dad is trying to tell me I should go deck, crossover, amp, speakers. Edit- It says 100wRMS. Is that both woofers + both tweeters = 100wRMS Edited December 25, 2009 by Nova Quote stop making sense you'll kill the argument. Earth, you feel me? You aren't loud enough to be felt.
loganberry Posted December 25, 2009 Report Posted December 25, 2009 its 100 rms total, you run rca's from your deck to your amp, then speaker wire from your amp to the INPUT of the crossover, then the tweeters into the TWEETER output on the crossover and the midrange on the MIDRANGE output...its really easy Quote My F-150 Build GET ON THE BANDWAGON what if they tried messing with the amps when the subs werent louder hahah jk
Nova Posted December 25, 2009 Author Report Posted December 25, 2009 (edited) That's what I thought but I just realized I have another question. There isn't just 1 input. There is woofer input and tweet input as well as each output on the crossover... Should I just wire the woofer and tweet input on the crossover to the same output on the amp?

loganberry Posted December 25, 2009 Report Posted December 25, 2009 that your crossover? Quote My F-150 Build GET ON THE BANDWAGON what if they tried messing with the amps when the subs werent louder hahah jk
Nova Posted December 25, 2009 Author Report Posted December 25, 2009 (edited) that your crossover? Yes. Edited December 25, 2009 by Nova Quote stop making sense you'll kill the argument. Earth, you feel me? You aren't loud enough to be felt.
loganberry Posted December 25, 2009 Report Posted December 25, 2009 ill let someone else chime in, ive only ever used crossovers like this that have 1 input and 2 outputs Quote My F-150 Build GET ON THE BANDWAGON what if they tried messing with the amps when the subs werent louder hahah jk
Nova Posted December 25, 2009 Author Report Posted December 25, 2009 Damn. Alright, thanks man. I'm going to be getting 3 more sets if I can wire them up to hear if I like them. lol. Quote stop making sense you'll kill the argument. Earth, you feel me? You aren't loud enough to be felt.
MrSkippyJ Posted December 25, 2009 Report Posted December 25, 2009 IIRC that component set gives you 2 options for hooking them up. One was is that each mid and tweeter has it's own input into the crossover. The other way is to have each set (mid and tweeter) run from a single input into the crossover. There is a switch (or jumper or something) in/on the crossover that lets you select how the inputs work on the crossover.

I take the cover off and flip the bi-amp switch off then run through the tweeter + and - . Thank you! Now another question as arose. Since i'm wiring the amp through the crossover, how do I tell the draw from the amp? It's a 4 ohm woofer and 4 ohm tweeter. If wired with the amp through the tweeter input on the crossover, then each speaker off their outputs, will this be drawing a 8 ohm load from the amp or a 4 ohm load from the amp?

I don't remember that at all but if I were to guess, it would be a 4 ohm load.
