need help with utopias 165w
 

i jsut got this componenet and i think the crossovers are in bi-amp mode, since the tweeters dont wanna play either from "HI" or "optional" outlets
mids work fine, i also chcked the tweeters with other crossover and they work fine. Is anyone familiar with this stuff?

look at your amp (do you have your high pass on )

use a 1.5aa to the wire to the tweeter hear a pop if not your tweeters are nfg

focal 165w
 

tweeters work f.g. i hooked em up with other crossover, and just straight to the amp, there is some f.b.s about jumping somthing inside the crossover if using this "optional" thing for bi amping. i looked inside the crossover, seen f.all
:dunno:

^ could you post a pic of the x-over?

focal utopia 165w
 

i called focal, was told to look if a little "bridge wire" was removed form inside of the crossover and it was, so just have to run +/- to input and fron input to optional, and it wokrks.
so thanks guys for looking into it
one more question: whts a good amp to match this componenet set
i have audiosn LRx 5600 i was thinking to bi amp this component with 4 of those channels, i also have 2x75 memphis, their top model, also have a polyglass component that i want to install in the back
any suggestions???

i like audison amps
why not 1-2 tweeterd 3-4 mid and 5-6 to back fill (i do not like fill for shows )

the audison is only a 5 channel 4x65w4ohm and 1x280W @2ohm
i gotta 15" plyglass sub dual 4ohm in sealed focal enclosure rated at 500rms
wounder if the audison would be enough?

it can do it but i like giving more power to speakers
i have the vrx 4300 to my focal 165k2ps 1-2ch to tweeters 3-4ch to mids lrx2.250 to submids (focak be 13ws)a lrx 2.500 to my focal 27kx
and after i just got my amps in i'm redoing the set up (the seat is coming out a new floor is going down then some f/g needs to be done and i'm looking at geting a vrx 6.420 just to see if i can come up with something new (i have looked at a 6way set up )

thats a sweet set up, on the other hand i m trying to eliminate some stuff form my daily driven grand cherokee, too much stuff goin on, slowly running out of room
clarion vrx935vd multimedia unit, kenwood music keg+modulator, rockford fosgate symmetry epx2, turn-on delays, tv tuner, ps2, memphis mc500d powering focal plyglass 15", memphis mc150 powering 6.5 focal v2 component
thats wats currently installed in the car.
new stuff that arrived: focal utopia 165w, audison 5.600 and pending deal
on utopia 13 sub.
so what i need to do here is to simplify as much as i can, i thought i will get away by using only one amp(5 ch. audison) but looks like not enough
