[QUOTE="dragonware, post: 8116802, member: 643746"] Hi Guys im new to this can you please help me figure if my wiring is wrong or if I need a better amp. here is the story. [B]FIRST[/B] 2 Eminence beta-6a 175RMS @ 8 ohm in my front doors parallel to 4ohm Powered by Massive audio NX2- Bridged 480RMS CEA-compliant @4ohm SOUNDED excellent clean loud crystal clear [B]Second[/B] 2 Eminence beta-6a 175RMS @ 8 ohm in my front doors 2 kicker components DS6.21 60RMS @4ohm in the rear doors Powered by Massive Audio NX4- one speaker per ch 100RMS CEA-Compliant @4ohm [COLOR=red]Sounded crystal clear but I lost about 10% volume[/COLOR] Kickers are over powered and the eminence are underpowered and the ohm is mis matched but still sounded great and amp would not go into protect mode. In this configuration if I attempted to Bridge and parallel the NX4 for the eminence it would go into protect after 20 mins of play [B]Third[/B] 2 Eminence beta-6a 175RMS @ 8 ohm in my front doors 2 kicker components DS6.21 60RMS @4ohm in the rear doors 2-Tweeters/crossovers from the kicker components added to the front doors ( assuming this is 4ohm also) Powered by Massive Audio NX4- one speaker per ch 100RMS CEA-Compliant @4ohm [COLOR=red]My music sounds complete now however i have lost another 10% of my volume[/COLOR]. am i wiring this wrong ? Would my tweeter be getting more power than the eminence since they are on the same crossover ? Any risk of damage ? anything I can do to wire differently or change crossover to get back my volume all gains are set properly dont wana mess. The amp is capable of 200RMS @2ohm by adding the tweeter to the eminence on the crosover am i now down to 2.66ohms so the amp is giving 200RMS instead of 100 ? Why the loss in power is the tweeter pulling more watts as its the one with the lower impedance ? Sorry for the long winded post wanted to give as much info as i can. FYI 2-12" RE audio *** 1200 RMS @1ohm on a Hifonics GLX1400.1D JVC-kd-X40 head unit Cadence CE-773 EQ Extra battery and 0 gauge No big 3. [/QUOTE]
