Installing tweeters

[Foote 10+ year member]

Hi, I just hit the local pawn shop and bought a 200watt Boss amp (2 channel). And two 300w tweeters. I want to use this amp to power (as in not connect the tweeters via cross over) the tweeters AND this (rather weak $20) bass tube I got from walmart. (the bass tube is in the spot where my console used to be, it looks kinda cool...heh. anyway...

Can I run both the tweeters off 1 output of the amp and the bass tube off the other...or would I have to have only 1 tweeter and the other output going to the tube.

Also...any help on how to do this in great detail will be appreciated. I am a noob. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

you can run both tweets off of one channel, but they will not be in stereo... also, you must use a high pass filter or those tweeters will not be lasting very long...

id just use the amp to run the tweets (one off each channel) with a HPF, and get another amp for the tube

You're putting together quite the wacked out system.

Hit up the pawn shop again and get yourself another amp if you really want to run that "bass" tube.

nah, I really wanna run the "bass" tube and the tweets off the one 200.2 amp. How do I go about that? The reason is that the RMS on the tube and tweets is actually pretty low, and I dont want to blow em. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

So, how do I run the wiring to split the power between tweets and the sub tube? If I have to...Im ok with having only one tweeter.

1 tweeter? dude, it will sound like shit, you need a left and right tweeter/speaker, and then mono bass tube.

You could put bass blockers on the line for the tweets....but still, no matter way you do it, there's no good way of running 2 tweets in stereo, and then a bass tube in mono.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
