New member Username: JronPost Number: 1 Registered: Jul-05 | I have some kenwood component speakers that run at 50rms, for the rear pioneers that run at 40rms. I was just wondering if getting a 4 channel amp say an Alpine F240 would make a significant difference in say versus just running a 201S (already own) 2-channel amp 50rmsX2 @ 4 ohms for the component speakers and let the rear ones run off the hu. any input would be appreciated. peace. |

You have to check with the speaker manual or manufactor that if your speaker can be wire at 2ohm. About use both low/high level output for your front and rear speaker, I had never tried this before. But imo, running both of your front/rear on Alpine F240 will be sound better. |

New member Username: JronPost Number: 4 Registered: Jul-05 | yeah winn, i personally have not heard of wiring components in a 2ohm fashion. but this guy was basically saying 2 ohm in front 4 ohm in back which i do not think is possible.kind of like running it at 50X2@ 2 ohms and 40X2 @ 4 ohms, did not get it. Another question should the pass be set at low pass for both front and rear or high pass for front and low pass for rear or what? I have never dealt with components so I haven't a clue. I do know they have a crossover, any advice would be appreciated. |

Highpass/Lowpass is the built-in crossover on the amp. With the components, technically, you don't need to use this feature, if you can turn both OFF or set it as Full-range, because the passive crossover on the component will filter it out. Or you can do is set the Front/highpass and Rear/Lowpass then choose which one you like most. 100x1 @ 2ohms is mono load, usually setup for sub. |
