Hey there I tried googling my question and couldn't find a direct answer. I did stumble upon this site and saw many helpful responses to other people's questions so I thought I'd throw mine into the mix!
Okay I just bought an Alpine MRP-F300 4 channel amp and I was wondering if I need a crossover for it. I want to hook channels 1 and 2 to my front speakers and bridge channel 3 and 4 to my sub. I read somewhere that this amp has "Variable high-pass/low-pass filters" that "let you adjust the frequency output for either full-range speakers or a sub." Can I use the high filter for the front speakers and the low filters (that possible?!) for the sub or do I not use any filters and get a line out converter for the front speakers?
Also, the factory speakers are component, I believe, as they have tweeters (That makes them component??) Would they be powered by the Amp if I hook up the front speakers via one of the 2 sets of RCA pre-outs on my head unit?
Is there anything else I will require for my installation that's not provided by the ultimate amp wiring kit and extra set of stinger RCA cables?
Was planning on on running front speakers and sub off amp and rear speakers of the head unit... That sound like a good way to go? Any recommendations, tips, and answers are GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!!!
