I didn't spend too much on my current setup so I don't mind having the rears as fillers for my current car. I just want to do it right for my next one. And anyway, my current tweeters are a bit too hot so I wired them in with ch 3/4 with my rears so I can reduce gain on the tweets without...

Thanks for all the helpful info! That's actually the first time I've heard to stay away from rears. My current Focal 2-way fronts and component rears sounds thin without the rears... But then again I just sold my subwoofer to get a better one soon so that may be the problem. Just to make sure...

So setting the gain correctly would make everything alright? I would imagine having the gain low for the tweeters wouldn't be bad but I've never used more wattage for a driver than it was rated for

I have finally put together a plan for my next system but I've run into a problem. I want to use the AudioControl DM-810 and an 8-channel amplifier to run a set of 3-way fronts and 6x9 rears all with the active crossover in the DM-810. What I can't figure out, is how much power the amp should...

I am using a 4-channel Crutchfield RCA bundle to run signal from my Kenwood DDX head unit to my 4-channel amp, but the RCA are picking up noise from behind the head unit. The noise is a slight hum/hiss that does NOT change with engine speed or volume adjustment on the head unit. The noise goes...

I have Focal components in the front and am having trouble figuring out how to wire them to my 4 channel amp. The components each have in-line crossovers. Do I wire the tweeter and woofer to the amp with their own wires going all the way to the amp terminal and combine both + and - at the...

I have Focal 6.5" components in the front and 6x9 coaxials in the back. I am trying to figure out the best frequency to cross over my front woofers and am having some difficulty because the listed Resonant Frequency (Fs) is about 94Hz which seems high to me. I have been told that the high-pass...

It's a cheap ol' Mbquart FX 1.400 and some Kicker 10CVT102 I believe. I'm replacing the whole setup with a Rockford Fosgate amp and Focal 8" sub soon but I'm pretty sure in the meantime I'll just take one of the subs out because I'm certain I'm running a 1 ohm load which is bad. What are the...

I have two 2-ohm subwoofers that I am trying to calculate the load for, but my amp is throwing me off. The system is just temporary but I would hope to get decent performance for the time being. Here is some info: Amp: 400W into 2-ohms 200W into 4-ohms NOT 1-ohm stable, has TWO speaker...
