All speakers need to be powered by an amplifier. A 4 ch is the simpliest way. Then you need an active crossover installed before the amp. And then you have to know how to tune it or say goodbye to those tweeters. |

And do you have a crossover yet? You need an active one to send low pass to mids amp and high pass to tweeter amp. And the set HPF on the mids amp to block out bass, or on the xover if it has that. A 3-way xover is ideal for this, it will connect to sub, mid, and tweeter amps and handle all crossover functions. And you have to find out the right xover frequencey to set for your speficic components..... |

" No really  You have to find the correct frequencey to crossover sound between the mid and tweeter. Frequency Response: 10-50 Hz Has to be a typo... what model amp |

Post Number: 1582 Registered: Mar-07 | does it matter where i mount the xovers? like do they need to be as close as possible to the speaker im mounting everthing and runing the power just having him wire it to the correct ohms and tune it in thanks for the help |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 9433 Registered: Jul-06 | Lets try this again. Whats included are PASSIVE crossovers. If you use those you can only connect everything to ONE AMP. Running the mid and tweeter on seperate amps requires an ACTIVE crossover which I just showed you. The passive ones are not used in that case. |

Gold Member Username: •cam•BC Canada Post Number: 2570 Registered: Nov-06 | LOL whatever, MS. It sounded like he figured the mid-woofers alone were the components. Some have 6 drivers so I had to distinguish this situation. Well yeah it definitely does sound like that's a typo. The only other specs I found said the same 10-50 Hz though. Strange. |
