Silver Member Username: ThelonewolfNew Ipswich, NH USA Post Number: 314 Registered: Jul-05 | BAD BAD BAD idea... I am telling you do NOT bridge the amp if you want right and left... you lose all staging when you bridge the amp it turns it mono... you do NOT want to do this. you should get a 2ch amp for the right wattage to power your speakers. use this amp and bridge you rear speakers and run them mono band passed. that is how you should do it... |

Bronze Member Username: AlonzoubPost Number: 90 Registered: Apr-10 | If I understand this correctly, hes bridging a 4 channel amp to create a 2-channel amp, which will not cause him to lose L/R. The crossover that came with the components is fine. You don't need a HU crossover. Just be aware that that amp can put out alot of clean power, so you could potentially fry those speakers without ever clipping them. Just tune the amp right and you will be fine. http://www.thesuicidaleggroll.com/gain.htm |

Bronze Member Username: SqcivicPost Number: 11 Registered: Feb-11 | ^yes!! That's exactly what I'm doing. I'm just afraid that the Hertz x-over might allow frequencies through that the speakers maybe shouldn't be playing. With the HU high pass filter turned off those things hit HARD and LOW! Sounds like I have a small sub in the mix. They don't get muddy or anything, but I've never heard a 6.5" woofer hit like that. I'm just concerned that they may get damaged. |
