¤- Can this be done???????? -¤ (i am a genius if it can)
|
Anonymous | I just started learning about car audio and i am not good with terms or anything BUTTTT, would a person be able to bridge (i think that is the term) 3 of the head units speaker wires to power 1 small sub and use the 4th speaker wire to power a tweater? ...My head unit kicks out 25watt rms x 4, so that would be like 75w rms for the sub and 25w for the tweeter. WILL IT WORK???????? I don't see why it wouldn't but i am sure i will be proven wrong. Thnx for your inputs |

I would attempt to describe why it can't be done, but it's complicated, heh heh, maybe someone else could do a better job at that. LPF=Low Pass Filter |

Also with bridgeing the chanels you lose sound quality and power for each chanel. |

Anonymous | Robert your first ? about rockford amp, Rockford amp are usally good. you may want to check your wiring so you dont burn out another amp of any brand. Your 2nd ? about REM wire, most after market HU's have a remote or coninous power wire usally a solid blue. If your using the manufacture HU, you may want to check with manufacture of your car or refer to car user manuel for remote wiring. Rem wire is a the same as continous posative charge. usally between 11 - 14 volts depending if your car is running or not. |
