Just started putting a stereo back in the buick , some time this week i will have a new motor in it too. But the question is coming so lets get the needed info out of the way first.
Pioneer P3900MP , Sony XM-C2000 (30x6 channels) , Jbl GTO507C , Fosgate FRC-1269 , 14 Gauge to all speakers , 6 Ga powering the amp , no subs or sub amp installed yet.
My question is this , when i had my alpine 9855 still , i was running these JBL components activly with 100+ watts per speaker @ 80-4000HZ and 4000-UP 24/DB Slpoe , they sounded great and seemed they were hungry for even more juice. Well now that they are active off of only 30 watts per speaker they just seem wimpy. I don't have a active capable deck anymore so my big 4 channel amps are a no go unless i run them 80hz high pass and use the passive crossovers. My question is if i shoot 100+ RMS per side through these crossovers will they hold up? I know the speakers are up to the task but the crossovers look lame as hell. Just one dinky coil and a capacitor the size of a top to a bic writing pen.
I want way more volume and headroom up front and i know its possible with a active crossover or active deck but is it gonna be ok using these ghey passives? BTW they are only rated for 55WRMS. LOL
