make sure your high pass filter is set to 80ish hertz, that's probably why your **** sounds hollow. Also, match the gain to the output of the source unit (if it's 2v out, set it to 2v)

I would steer clear of all of those brands.
6.5 JBL marine speakers that I have in the bronco are the tits. Get super loud off very little power and do not break up and distort.
Hifonics is...
seths right, they dim your unit when you flip on the lights. you'll need to run the orange wire to the positive wire on your headlight switch. I personally don't like the dimmer, so I just leave it...
haha
It does go boom boom when I want it to, but when I turn the bass down, it actually sounds fantastic on music. My goal was to create the ultimate SQ build with the option of getting crazy loud...
Finally got it all finished and tuned.
Fully active, 4-way system with:
Hertz HV 165XL getting 200 rms each bandpassed 80-800hz.
Hertz EM100 getting 75 rms each bandpassed @ 500-4khz
DLS...
**** just got real

It's most likely the head unit if the speaker works fine on one input and not the other.
If you want to be sure it's not the speaker, take a DMM and set it to measure resistance. The coils should...
Alright Seth, time to pick your brain some more...
I've decided to take your advice and go 4 ohm all around and ditch the passive crossovers.
So here we go.
The H/U I have has a HPF that I...
Dayton Audio. Have read nothing but good things about them. They're more focused on home audio stuff, but a lot of people have had a lot of success running their equipment in a car stereo setup....
:rolleyes:
Thanks for the helpful reply! I'm assuming the impedance would be 8 ohms since crossovers dont severely affect impedance, only frequency; however, I have never seen a bridged setup on a...
what is the nominal impedance seen by the amp in this setup?

I call it the stoplight rule. When you're moving, all bets are off...crank it up. But nobody wants to listen to the asshole with his system up while you're stopped at a light. Let this be a lesson to...
surprisingly nothing really rattles... other than your head :gigem:
We probably have very different "habits" as far as sound systems go. I assume you don't actually push your speakers, and hey...
JL audio is overpriced garbage. Having owned both JL and kicker, I am a kicker fan for life. As far as distortion goes, you can hardly tell. And besides, they're subwoofers... it's not like...
haha, was waiting to get busted for that one... I had to remove the back seat to get them to fit into the trunk.
picture was taken when I picked them up and listened to them on the way home, they...
the square subs sound louder due to the added cone volume
Oh yeah!! New additions to the yetta

After looking over this a few times, what I'm trying to do isn't going to work. Going to have to run each speaker to its own channel. I was trying to go around this because I only have one set of...
wrong again :flipoff2:
Using the other two channels would present a 4 ohm load on the amplifier, producing maybe 30 watts per speaker. That's not much louder than I already have on the head unit....
its stable to 2 ohms. just a little 4 channel kicker amp
2 ohms isnt going to hurt the amp, it was designed to handle the load. I'm not going to run 8 ohms, that's just a dumb suggestion and would completely defeat the purpose of even using an amp. The amp...
THD is .5% at 2 ohms, I can live with that. Just wanting to make sure that wiring a 6.5 to a 6x9 isnt gonna cause another catastrophic hot-pocket electrical meltdown

something like this, I'm wanting to put a 2 ohm load on the amp per channel.
4 4ohm speakers. 2 6.5", 2 6x9"
Installing an amp
Can I wire one of the 6.5's and one of the 6x9s in parallel? (The other two would be wired in parallel as well.) Both have the same resistance...
how many channels? 300 rms? make and model?
