1" compression drivers

[king ranch 5,000+ posts]

i was wondering what bass blockers/crossovers do i need with these compression drivers i ordered. They are 75rms a piece and the Fequency is 3.5K - 20KHz

they sound decent with the bass on zero and on some hard hitting songs they sound bad

Thanks

You need an xover at 3.5k.

which ones should i get i have them wired up at 4ohms on the amp but they are 8ohm a piece

i have them wired in parallel

 

[king ranch 5,000+ posts]

so should i just get the 8ohm one and hook it up at the amp or where would i hook them up at

 

[hoss 5,000+ posts]

8 ohm

 

[king ranch 5,000+ posts]

ok where would i wire it up at by the amp or what

so if i have them wired up to a 4ohm load i need the 4ohm one and hook it up right at the amp correct?

Not so simple...

I would cross over at aound 2 octaves above the Fs of the tweeer if using 2nd order slopes.

i think you just need to buy a set of components already made...

sounds like you are getting in pretty far above your head.

which horns do you have? all the ones that say "4-8 ohm" on it, are the cheaper brands. its 4 ohm, or 8 ohm. do you have a Multi Meter?

test them see what impedance they are.

but you said 3.5k-20k hz. pretty much a tweeter. run one of these per and youll be fine.

this is what they include with "bullet tweeters" (audiopipe, eminence, etc)

its not the best, but itll work for you for sure.

where in Fl are you?
