manofthehour Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 box on radio said 50x4 thats prolly max power tho Yea that's max (mines got 45x4 RMS ) LOL but I do have the KTP power pack lol There's this wire that loops and takes the bass out of the current or whatever my friend showed it to me like a year ago that should rid the small speaker of bass Or if you plug it into the existing wires it shouldn't play low freq right? mine don't and they are stock... (but i do have a high pass set to 80hz on the HU) Quote My stuff '06 Scion xA: -Alpine iDa-x100 -Alpine KTP-445 Power Pack -Polk Audio db6501 (front components) -Polk Audio db651 (back coaxials) -2 RE Audio SEX12D4s -Cadence F1200-1D - Custom box tuned to 33Hz - Kinetik HC1400 - 50 ft2 of Audio Technix sound deadner - Big 3 My photography page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(but i do have a high pass set to 80hz on the HU) i have a build in high pass on the radio that i would use but i have it off right now because i have only speakers going from amp and they are set to 125 HPF so if i set the radio to 125 that would take the bass out of the fronts so i should be ok ... this is going to be my first fiber glassing project or how ever i would do this Quote Teamcapri.comThe TeamCapri 1992 Mercury Capri XR22012 FORD EDGE SQ BUILDOld build logMy FeedBack1992 Mercury capri XR2 Hyper LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
