Pro audio questions
Ive been thinking about pro audio mids and highs fiberglassed into my truck lid for playing music at the beach and things like that. But I know almost nothing about running pro audio..
I have an AQ120.4 and the front 2 channels will be running HAT components and I want to use the other two for two pro audio 6.5s and two super tweeters.
What do I do about wiring them up? Should I do 2 8 ohm woofers wired down to 4 ohm to 1 channel and then 2 8ohm tweeters to 4 ohm off the other channel? What about crossovers?
I searched and searched and didn't find anything that really helped me..
Thanks

Re: Pro audio questions
tweeter and mids will be sharing the same crossover which in my opinion isn't good...
head Unit- JVC double din dvd w/ipod & detachable face plate
front stage- 4 Crescendo mp8's and crescendo ft1 super tweeters
front stage amp- rf t1000-4AD & Skar 85.4
Subs- 3- 10" DC xl's @31hz
Sub's Amp- DC 5k (.6 ohm)
Wires- All Shok Power and ground wires & Knu RCA's
Electrical- DC Power 275ah alt, xs d3400 (front) & xp 2500's (x3) (rear)

Re: Pro audio questions
What would you suggest doing? Are the crossovers I would need the same as with component speakers? I've ran quite a few different component sets.

Re: Pro audio questions
I would suggest a 2 chan for the front comps and a 4 chan for the rears.

Re: Pro audio questions
Well I already have my AQ120.4 Just was going to run HAT fronts and didn't have any use for channel 3 and 4 so I though that would be a good idea. Maybe ill just run a set of components in the trunk lid off the rear channels instead of pro audio setup.

Re: Pro audio questions
why would you mix HAT's with PA stuff? 2 entirely different objectives.
If you are more concerned with getting loud go to all PA stuff. Use the 120.4 to power 4 PA mids and get a 2ch to power the super tweeters.

Hats for inside the car.. The PA stuff was going to be mounted on the trunk lid so I can open the trunk at say the beach and have some music.

OK, that makes a lot more sense. although i have run an SQ and PA set up inside a car, diff amps off toggle switches to run one set up or the other...
