Default RE: Help with amp/speaker set up.

lol...i know i cant spell...


thanks for the help.....and i know im mixing my highs and mids on one line, but i think ill be alright...well see....speakers arn't that expensive and if all else fails I can just end up selling them to my friends that dont no shiit about audio....

Visonik seems to be an ok brand though.....I have 2 amps and they have work perfectly since i got them with no problems and they are made to last....

also...its not a sub on that line...its a mid....6.5" i guess i forgot to put that in my diagram....my 12's will be on another channel and i do have the crossover for the tweeter. IDK....im not to good with audio but im learning and anything is better then the set up i have now. Ill let everyone know how it sounds.....

looking at the diagram you posted, it seems to me you're not running 4 ohms, but only 1 ohm per channel... (it looks like everything is wired in parallel -- 4 4-ohm speakers in parallel will give 1/4 the impedance of one of those speakers)
Now seeing as how this particular amp is a 'bargain basement' amp, I'm assuming it's not 1-ohm stable, which means you'll probably fry it...

Others more knowledgable in car audio than myselfmay come along and correct me, mind you..

i thought that too but if u look at what he wrote before he put the diagram he said that the he is going to have the two 6x9s wired in series to the mid and the tweeter (thinking about it im not even sure if you can do that), it confuses the hell out of me too, i am sceptical of this working and i am curious why u need 4 6x9s?

You need 4 6x9s cause i dont wanna build another box...lol



your right...i ment to draw the 6x9s in series with the 6.5 and the tweeter.....


and you just made me realise id be pushing at 4 ohms only giving me 250 w rms from the amp....

so if i get lower rms rated 6x9s...and sonys instead of visonik rated at 40rms and then get some 30 watt rms tweeters instead....that will bring my RMS down to 260 at 4 ohms

so here is the diagram at 4 ohms for reals....lol

and i know this sounds stupid....and it probably is that im mixing everything...but the truth is...im just really cheap....
