[QUOTE="headless, post: 1603823, member: 566363"] I'll tell you tommorrow about the Germaniums, but their instructions say 150w for the 265 and 300w for the 465. I'm running them on 4x50w ATM and am going to be bridging my amp to 2x140 tonight. They sound excellent even on the 4x50, but i think the woofers are really going to come into their own switched up to 2x140w. I've heard about people pushing double what i am going to be to them...though i dunno if that's a good idea [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] On the plus side, the germanium crossover's are freakin awesome and have thermal protection + overcurrent protection built in..not sure if the overcurrent and thermal applies to only the tweets or also the woofers. I'm going to be posting a thread with my install and impressions tonight... Going to be deadening my doors in a week or 3, so i'll have a direct comparison pre-deadened and post. Oughtta rock. BTW, why leaning more towards active setup on the germaniums? The x-over's on the germaniums have a LOT of jumperable options including x-over adjustment from 2.2hz to 2.6hz and 4 levels of tweet attenuation.. And BTW, you can't go active with a 2ch amp...you'd need 4ch (or 2 2ch amps), so you could x-over your tweets separate from your woofers. [/QUOTE]
