do you have a 2ch or 4ch amp?

 

[BIGsherm7272]

2 channel.....or, at least thats what I was recommended to get for my focal 130V1 set.

If your amp is intended to power the front and rear channels (4-channel amp) it should have two inputs, but if its a 2-channel that you are using to power front and rear, then I have no clue how you're supposed to do that...you're not real

then just use the front.

So you're just using it for one set of speaks? Then what's the problem?

 

[BIGsherm7272]

well, arent there different layers in music throughout the front and rear channels?

if your powering a front stage, then just use the front preouts...

?? If you are putting the speakers in the front, use the fronts preout

and the set consists of 2 tweets, 2 mids, and the 2 crossovers.....

EDIT: nvm. I understand know. why would they also include a rear one?

If you were going to run rear speakers.

 

[BIGsherm7272]

well, I was going to run the tweets in the front of my car and the mids in the back of the car......or not a good idea?

 

[6spdcoupe 5,000+ posts]

No, bad idea. Very bad idea.

 

[BIGsherm7272]

lol, thats what I thought. So, should I buy another pair of focal coaxials to fill in my rear speakers?
