michigancapri92 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) ok so i got 2 sets of orion components all 6.5 and each set has a set of wires with built in crossovers, i am running 2 speakers on one channel of the amp in parallel, could i run both sets off of just one of those crossovers?

Sanitarium Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 i'm assuming you mean passive crossovers. well you can but it will drasticly change the crossover slopes and sound like ass. and if you wire in paralell, the crossover is likely to overload and fail. Maybe look into going active or buying another crossover like this : CLICK ME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raytard Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 No. Crossovers are only designed for a certain amount of power, putting two sets on one crossover means that you are very likely to start blowing up caps and burning coils if you decide to power the speakers properly. Also, changing the impedance seen by the crossover means that the actual crossover point is changed dramatically(raises it) so the mids play less efficiently (because they have to handle a wider range) and are more likely to blow.

michigancapri92 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 since the 2 crossovers are pre wired into the wire could i just run both crossovers and wire them in parallel ? kind of like 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...
michigancapri92 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 if i cant do that how can i wire these 2 sets of components together on one channel in parallel ?

BanginOnABudget Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Talk about going mono lol. Quote im taking out my passenger seat, battery is disconnected, going to unwire and take out the three amps, take out the 70+ lb box, then the platform so i can crimp 1 wire. Almost as bad as those fegs that put those horns in their grills and roll down the street distorting the block.... 1990 Jeep Cherokee 2 Dr. Big-3 in 0g on Stock Alt. Pioneer 6.5" and 5.25"s temp. until i can afford the new crescendos. Pioneer 6000ub Reciever NO amps at the moment. SA-15 on 1kw coming soon. MSG Me for a free enclosure design!!

michigancapri92 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 well i have 4 components and i want to run 2 on left 2 on right they are 50 watts rms each 4ohm and my amp can do 100watt 2ohms each channel so i would still have left and right 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...
Sanitarium Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 get 2 more crossovers like i suggested, and wire in paralell between the crossovers and amp, not between the crossovers and speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michigancapri92 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 ok i have 4 crossovers for each component, so like i have pictured the 2 crossovers wired in parallel betweet the crossover and amp will work? as long as i dont wire the speakers in parallel between speaker and crossover 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...
