[or_yourlivingtodie]

alright

i just got 2 polk tweeters, with the crossovers....

but idk how the hell to ptu them in



Currently have:
3 Rockford Fosgate State 2 Punches *12 inch subs*
4 Polk Audio Speakers
1 1100 Watt Phoenix Gold Amp
Alpine CDE 9870 Head Unit


now someone tell me how to wire thes tweeters in!

[ZimZim]

Just splice um to one of your interior speakers, thats the easiest way. Other wise you can go to amp, but thats just too much work.

I havent done car **** in so long, so idk if what im saying is 100% accurate haha.

lulz i thought this was about twitter

Dude, phoenix amps are like the walmart of audio supplies. I had this nasty true 1500W amp stable at 0 ohms; it was balls expensive but totally worth the money. Ever set off car alarms or shatter side-view mirrors? I did

What's the problem?

Remove the old tweeters, connect the speak wire to the input on the crossover, and connect your new tweeters to the output on the crossover.

That's insane. I have an alpine amp that runs 1000W at 2 ohms... and it's more than enough. My entire setup is ridiculous though, I can max out my volume but the speakers never pop... your ears will start to ring before the system distorts. I use an Alpine deck, Alpine amps, JL Audio sub, and Boston Acoustics speakers.

btw, a friend of mine is gonna be pursuing a PhD in chem at UB next year.

I just got 1200w at 2 ohms, unfortunately its sitting in my old car

Rockford Fuzzgate is the Muscle tech of electronics. That is where I got my first lesson in being f'd by marketers...

Lol, my setup was worth WAAAY more than I paid for that car; I think I dropped about 3K and did most of the wiring (0 gauge wire = ballin status)and shiz myself. The amp was this pimpass looking flush-mount brushed aluminum amp, costing I believe 900 or 1k. The subs were those 15" diamond audio MDL or MDX somethings.... they were 12inches deep, aluminum cone and kevlar spider, I think 100 or 120oz magnets. Those two subs were off the 1500W amp at 0 ohms with eq and crossover and seperate dry cell battery. The 800W soundstorm amp was cheap and just powered my 6x9's, dash speakers (I think 3"), and 2 tweets suspended off the top of the 'pillar' above my head.
When I put it in a competition once and IIRC, it hit 155dB playing a pulsed sine wave. Wish I had pictures so you all could fap to it

What's his or her name? I might have talked to the person during the recruiting weekend.

Lol, I do not like the fosgates; it's kinda like those phoenix audio crap IMO.

Holy ****... that's absolutely insane. I may take a reading and figure out just how loud mine is someday. It sounds perfect, and I did 100% of the work myself. I got the crossovers tuned through the tuner, each speaker only gets optimal frequencies. It sounds really really crisp.

Robert Best... decently big guy... has a horrible snaggle tooth.

Nice. I didn't tune it myself despite having exceptional hearing; I didn't have an oscilliscope.

Don't remember meeting him, however, I think every dude's name went in one ear and out the other that weekend I'm only there to scope the hoez

I haven't had a 'system' in my vehicle since The Marshall Mathers LP.

[Bobaroo]

One of my Alpine tweeters got all disconnected from the wiring. I have to solder the wires back onto the tweeter and then connect them to the crossover again. So damn annoying

Lol, I think that was the same time I sold that car.... maybe a little bit after that.

EDIT: found a link to my old amp; I can't believe it was $1200.... maybe, I dunno. And I guess it was stable at 1 ohm, not 0; I fail.
