[dscolt676]

im getting 4 6 x 9 500 watts a piece and 75 watts rms.

im getting 4 6 1/2 280 watts a piece and 50 watts rms.

Why in the hell so many tweeters?

All that is going to sound like ***.

wat

 

[Harleyfx69 10+ year member]

so your gonna have 5000~ watts on highs / mids ?

Bro... You can wire all that to a good 4-ch amp...

... I have (8) 6.5s on an Interfire 700.4

* I just have have another amp ( Planet Audio 60x2 ) on 8 tweets *

.... Also, Tweeters don't have an ohm load( They are a static speaker ) so wire each set of speakers to 8ohm and just run the tweeters however.

you're going to need a 50 channel amp

Lol...

... But seriously. After you have each set of speakers wired @ 8-ohm, You have bridge 2 sets on channel 1/2 & the other 2 sets on channel 3/4.

I am curious as to why you say that.

And can you explain WTF a static speaker is.

Because that is a new one to me.

Every speaker I have seen (short of some electrostats and wierd ribbons) most certainly "have an ohm load"

When you use a DMM... & hook up lets see ( 6 ) Tweeters together - It's doesn't read, .25ohm - 8ohm... It reads WAY higher than that. My (8) tweeters @ the amp reads 63.? ohms... If you want I'll show you a picture & prove it. ( But that's besides the point ).

.... Tweeters ( the one's that he is referring to ) Wasn't designed to play WORDS, therefore a stable ohm load wasn't needed. A speaker with the response as high as 50k... What sound do you think it's gonna play????

STATIC... It's just to high pinched. Thus making the " tick " or " tweet " sound... hence it's name ... The " Tweeter ".

FYI......my Vifa tweets read 4ohms on the DMM

To the OP, assuming your coax's are 4ohms, you can wire each pair down to 2ohms as long as your amp is stable. You'll get more power out of it that way, and get a 4 channel that does around 150watts per channel at 2ohms...

I highly doubt your 6 tweeters will take 1800watts. How do you plan to high pass them?

Or better yet save money or apply it to 1 or two pairs of high quality mids and highs. It'll sound a hell of a lot better, be easier to install, and look nicer.

OMFG NEW R-TARD OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!

OMFG NEW R-TARD OF THE YEAR!!!!!!! 

nG

My thoughts exactly.

 

[NissanKicker 10+ year member]

How am I the new r-tard of the year...

... Be I have to show a f***ing video... or are ya'll 2 individuals too ill-minding to see?

 

I mean, seriously!

Ex:

A interfire 700.4 is ~Approx. $220 BNIB Shipped.

(4) 6.5s & (4) 6.9s

TAKE 1 set of the 6.5s.... (2) Speakers...

1) + on speaker #1 & - on speaker #2 ( twist and crimp cap those together )

2) The remaining + and - .... Leave those ran separate ( used later on )

Take Next set of 6.5s... Do the same THING.

Take the 6x9s... DO THE SAME THING.

NOW!

- You shoud have 8 WIRES running out. ( 4 +'s and 4 -'s )

* Each set is at 8ohms *

Now you run them PARALLEL

1) Both 6.5s Positives together & Both 6.5s Negatives together.

2) Both 6x9s Positives together & Both 6x9s Negatives together.

2) Bridge those on the amp

* 6.5s on channels 1&2 ... 6x9s on channels 3&4

* THIS IS A 4ohm load on EVERY CHANNEL ... My amp runs more efficient and gets ALL off it's power... * - MOST 4-ch amp do...

NOW FOR THE TWEETERS....

It doesn't matter how you run them...

You can twist all of the tweeters positives together and the negatives together and run them ALL off of channel #1 ( NOT BRIDGED like the 6.5s or 6x9s ).

Now for you lames....

1) The tweeters that he has ARE NOT component tweeters.

2) Excuse me if I explained it wrong... THEY DON'T HAVE A STABLE OHM LOAD...

3) The tweeters that you are referring to are like Memphis PR-1s ... Flush mounts, titianium domed, etc. one... THEY HAVE A 4OHM load... because they can play ACTUAL music.

* Music - meaning words...

4) Cheap 350w tweeters ( Power acoustik, MCD, NT Power, PO-155, whatever. ) don't play at the frequency that words are noticed & associated with.

Question: What do you hear @ 25k - 50k?

Answer: Whines including ticks, statics... even churps

... So don't bash me on $hit that you aren't literally knowledgeable about.

You don't hear a god **** thing, it's outside the realm of human hearing you douche bag...

The range of human hearing is typically from 15hz - 20khz... some even lower.

Uh durrrrrrrr... thought I'd let you know LAME //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
