Gold Member Username: JohnfiacIL Afghanistan,... Post Number: 1657 Registered: Mar-06 | If i was to buy 2 4ch. amps and use one to power my mids and the other for the highs.... What type of power would i need for each? The A\D\S cs346's say about 120rms i think so would that divide evenly between the tweeter and the midrange or does the crossover add more resistance to the tweeter so that the midrange takes more power? I was thinking about getting 2 4ch 125rms@4ohmx4 amps but i dont want the tweeters taking a cr@p in my ear ...and what would be better to do... use one amp for highs and one for mids.... or use one amp for front\one for back... like put the A channels to the mids and the B channels to the highs? Im looking for complete SQ i want to get every range of music as possible. I will have the subs for the lows and some 8" subs for the lower end midrange notes that the components dont pick up to good.. and ideas on that? |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 3504 Registered: Jan-06 | no it doesnt split the power in half to tweet half to midbass driver. and it is dumb, if you ask me to bi amp a set with passive x-overs unless they are like the high end rainbows with alot of tuning options |

Post Number: 1663 Registered: Mar-06 | well to begin with i was planning on bi amping them so i can give them seperate amounts of power and different freq. ranges so i wont get any uncalled for notes out of the wrong speakers i will be putting some eqs. in the setup as well |

Gold Member Username: JohnfiacIL Afghanistan,... Post Number: 1669 Registered: Mar-06 | yea i know that but the thing is it isnt the cleanest like that, the tweeters distort before the mids, if i disconnect the tweeters i can run an extra 40rms to the mids and they still sound clean and this way i have extra filters as well, if i play a 20hz test tone with volume all the way up my tweeters crackle a little bit its sorta annoying.. basically i want to be able to customize EVERY SINGLE TINY SPEC of my power to each and every speaker. I was thinking a 50rmsx4@4ohms for the tweeters and a 100rmsx4@4ohms for the mids and a eq, line drivers, ect. Once my sub side of the setup is done im going to drop about 2-3K on my mid\high range so i will have better speakers then but i want to get all the plans ready and out of all i thought of this sounds the best... IMO |
