Silver Member Username: Camaro155mphPost Number: 364 Registered: Aug-05 | Is this correct? Would I be able to run 2 ohm and 4 ohm speakers off the same amp??? The amp I have is the Alpine MRV-340 4 channel amp. It gives out 55 RMS at 4 ohms and 65 RMS at 2 ohms. Would my amp automatically give the 2 ohm speakers 65 watts? or would i have to do some rewiring? (From Matt Dope): if you put the infinitys on channels 1 and 2 it will see a two ohm load and then put the type s on channels 3 and 4 and it will see a 4 ohm load. so channels 1 and 2 you get 65rms 3 and 4 55 |

As long as l/r channels are the same, you can wire 3/4 to a different impedance than 1/2. (A good example of this would be tri-mode amps, where you wire channels 1 and 2, lets say to a 2 ohm load, then wire 3/4 bridged to a 4. |

Silver Member Username: Camaro155mphPost Number: 365 Registered: Aug-05 | so can I just unplug my speakers I have now in front which are 4 ohm, and connect those wires to the crossover of the infinitys? and the infinitys will work fine? |

Gold Member Username: FandimReno, Nevada United State... Post Number: 1181 Registered: Jun-05 | I stand corrected, Jake. I was referring to hooking up a 4 channel amp in three-channel mode. :-P Since 4 channel amps were being discussed, not 2-channel amps, should have been pretty clear what I meant. :-P |

Silver Member Username: Camaro155mphPost Number: 369 Registered: Aug-05 | I have second guessed what I'm going to do, If I am going to get component speakers, I would have a much easy install if i put them in my rear speakers, which are at ear level about a foot behind my head when I'm in the front seat. This link shows a decent pic of where they are, they are the ones u can see with the white chevy symbols near the top of the front seats. https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/system-showcase/228255.html My front speakers are pretty far down in the door panel and I don't want to cut a new hole for the tweeter in my door panels. What do you think about putting them components in my rear speakers instead??? |

Silver Member Username: SolacedagonyNew Jersey US Post Number: 949 Registered: Oct-04 | Seth: I wasn't picking on you or anything, but I know how confusing the terminology is. I just wanted to make sure everyone was on the same page. I apologize if I offended you. Mike Jones: Sweet system. What are your complaints with the speakers being down in the door like that? Are you not getting the midbass that you're looking for or are do you just not want to permanently modify your interior to mount the tweeters. What I'm doing since I didn't want to cut holes for the tweeters is mounting the tweeters in little plastic pods that came with my component set. I'm double sided taping them to my A-pillars. If your complaint is the midbass, you can try aiming the speakers up at your head slightly, while keeping the stock location. You can also EQ the midbass a little higher. Lastly, get a midbass that has more output. |

Gold Member Username: FandimReno, Nevada United State... Post Number: 1265 Registered: Jun-05 | Jake, just for the record - you didnt offend me at all. You were correct in your statement, afterall, was my error using that terminology for what I was trying to describe. Heh heh. I only get offended, when people try to correct me, when I'm right. LoL. |
