Front stage @ 1ohm
#1
Iam planning my front stage and can't decide what to do. I have an amp that can push 250RMSx2 @ 1ohm and was thinking about using a DVC 10" with 2 6.5's per side....
Problem is that all the speakers will be getting the same signal, which isn't very ideal from a SQ standpoint. Better the 10 is mid-bass and the 6.5's for everything else.....
I can build X-overs no prob, but then nom. impedance on the amp is going to be around 2ohms and I won't get all the power I want....
I think I should just buy 2 new amps ????
(my other option is a 3way component system with the 10" a 6.5" and a 3" bullet tweeter too, BTW)

Just my 2 cents but how about a 8", 5.25" (or 4") 1" combo -- the 8 will give you lots of lower to mid bass -- the 5.25 (or 4") will give you excellent mid to upper mid and you still get a 1" that give you great imaging...

It'll sound like CRRRAP no matter how clean the signal is.
you may find it interesting that for some reason [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] Sound Quality will always be related to higher impedence.
BTW I think that at 1 ohm the "front stage" will be more like an in your face bitch-slap .

Impendence has very little impact on sound quality. Many highly regarded home audio speakers are of low impendence. You cannot say that a 8ohm speaker will sound better than a 4ohm.
