6 speaker wiring

[bernee69]

I have 6 speakers that I am wanting to hook up to a 2 channel amp. 2 4 ohm an 4 8 ohm.i have 2 8 ohm an 1 4 ohm on each side of my car. I'm wondering how I should wire em.2 4's in parallel an 4 8's in parallel? Or go 8 ohm,8 ohm, 4ohm in parallel? Balance isn't necessary but would like to be. Opinions and options will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Be more specific about the speakers. Are they tweeters and mids - Is this something you could wire up with some crossovers? Are any of these subs? What is the wattage and what are you trying to wire them too.
What wattage is the 2ch amp, and what wattage are the speakers that you think you're going to power 3 speakers on each channel?

They are all sundown audio neo pro 6.5, 4 8 ohms and 2 4 ohms.

What amp is it? (you didn't say what ohms you are trying to end up, or did I miss that, or what power that amp is).

I see the v1 is 100w RMS, and the V3 is 200w RMS. Which ones are yours?

Thats a lot of mid, do you want to get into the rest of the system?

They are the version 3 neo pro 6.5.At this moment I have a salt 400.2 an a sia 3500 for 10 inch sub. Installed.Have sa 2.75 in the dash running off h/u. Going to install some tweeters, haven't decided on what, which 1's to install yet. I also have another salt 400.2 an a sfb 1000.4 if needed.

If that's me:
The (4) 8ohm on one 400.2 and the other (2) 4 ohm on the other 400.2 and dialing em down to what the speakers can handle.

The 2.75 already has a frequency range up to 20KHz. Unless you really want to hear the non-vocal, tinny, tingy cymbal and triangle leftovers that dogs like to howl out, then you already have the frequency range covered. Not all tweeters go up to 25Khz, and that's all you MIGHT be missing out on. (Personally, I filter that out because it hurts my ears at high volumes for long periods of time).

I wouldn't buy anything else. At least not until you get it all installed, and see what you want to change. The only thing I MIGHT even want is a second set of those 2.75 to also play off the head unit, only because that's a LOT of mid, and the one pair of tweeters are low wattage.

• Input Sensitivity : 6V - 0.2V
• 400 x 2 @ 4 ohms RMS
• 650 x 2 @ 2 ohms RMS
• 1300 x 1 @ 4 ohms RMS Bridged
• 2 OHM Stereo Stable / 4 OHM Bridged Stable
• Variable Subsonic Crossover Filter : 10HZ - 500HZ
• Variable High Pass Filter : 50HZ - 500HZ ( 500HZ - 5KHZ at x10 )
• Variable Low Pass Filter : 50HZ - 500HZ ( 500Hz - 5KHZ at x10 )
• X1, X10 Crossover Multiply
• Efficiency : 75% 4OHM, at 100HZ
• Signal / Noise Ratio : 105DB <
• Damping Factor : 400 <
• Frequency Response : 10 Hz – 25khz
• 12DB/ OCT Variable Crossover Slope (HPF/LPF)
• 12DB/ OCT Variable Subsonic Crossover Slope
• Tested Voltage & THD : 12.8V & Less Than 1% THD
• Operation Voltage : DC 9V - 15.5V Power Input
• Recommended Fuse : 100 Amps
• Dimensions : 11.82” L x 6.85” W x 2.66” H

that 400 x 2 is at 12.8 volts too. 14.4v is 1/8th more than 12.8V. So its actually:
450 x 2 @ 4 ohms RMS @ 14.4v
731 x 2 @ 2 ohms RMS @ 14.4v

I don't think I would even bother with the second 400.2 and the (2) 4 ohms. If you have to make a place for a third set of 6.5s to fit, you might decide that the (4) 6.5s that you are running 800 watts is plenty. Unless this is a build to show off, or in a big truck, or large sedan, it probably will be. Sound wise, it probably will be. Unless you are building a stereo that you can't listen to while you are in your vehicle, it probably will be plenty.

It would also show what I think will be that you need another set of tweeters, and If they fit, getting a second pair of what you got might be the easy answer.

Hey bro,I have another question for, can the dash speakers get signal from factory door speakers still on factory amp, since dash speakers have separate signal, dash speakers have 4 wires

 

[bernee69]

This is my build going on.

Lower impedance does not burn up speakers...too much power or a distorted signal are what smokes a coil...
