speaker help for electronic illeterit hillbilly?

You could play it so that all the frequencies go through, and get a couple external low pass filters for the sub (s). Aint cheap tho.

? lol

but this amp would blow those speakers to **** wouldnt they? can i just hook up some kinda resistor on the lines to the spkears but then leave the ones goin to the sub open or should i get what my freind sujests and get a sonic maximizer?

dude if that amp is only like 200W there is no fricken way that you will blow your speakers if they are all bridged honestly! most stock car stereos that i have worked on are 350W amps for like 4 - 6 speakers and they get nice sound outta them, trust me you want to use an amp to power your speakers

 

[freakboy]

i got no idea what the speakers are i just pulled them outa my sterio system.... there 8 ohm and im just majorly woried cause idk what there rated at

 

[bajagokart]

how many do you have? 2?

 

[freakboy]

there two little speakers that i took pics of the silver ones... i dont know how to open the boxes up to check what the rating is..

 

[bajagokart]

and how many channels on this amp? cause if it is 4 ohm you can run your speakers bridged and put them through that and they wont blow i will guarantee that

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

I think you mean you could run your speakers in a series, which will make 2 8ohm speakers 4 ohm.

But then you need 4 speakers to get both left and right sound.

 

[bajagokart]

thats kinda what bridged means lol its like when you bridge 2 subs together so that you can run them through a single channel amplifier

 

[bajagokart]

there two little speakers that i took pics of the silver ones... i dont know how to open the boxes up to check what the rating is..

btw those look to be about 4 and 1/2 inch or 5 inch speakers. my guess is that they are rated to about 120 each so there is no way that the small amp you have powering your sub should blow them

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

thats called wiring them in a series, not bridging them. You can bridge some amps to make it mono.

That amp could blow those speakers no problem, i bet they are rated 120w peak, not rms, but if your just doing normal listening and not trying to piss off your neighbors then it probably wont.

 

[bajagokart]

exactly my point! it all depends what you run them at; that amp cannot be more than 250 W peak anyway so im guessing its 150W rms

 

[freakboy]

HAHA im glad i didnt listen to u dude.... i riped one of the boxes open and the big speaker there is rated a woopin 3WATTS AND 8 OHMS!!! i woulda blown these as soon as i freakin hooked em up

 

[bajagokart]

3W? holy crap lol i would have honestly never have guessed that! you would have blown them as soon as you hooked them up! lol

 

[bajagokart]

screw using them dude 3W is less than what you find in computer speakers that are like 20 buck haha

 

[freakboy]

yeah well ima have to talk to some of the mexicans in my school and see what the hell i can get from them for cheep... or see if bill has any speakers he dont need.

 

[bajagokart]

what kinda car did u rip those tiny things outta anyway?

 

[freakboy]

umm my sterio speakers LMAO but the one single speaker i got my bro got from a freind... u know what im freaking bored i got one sub going and i got two...... lets see what the hell happens

 

[bajagokart]

lol ya i thought when u said that i assumed it was out of a car but ya better off getting real car speakers

 

[freakboy]

yeah the one car speaker i acctualy got is rated at 45 watt....
