Urgent! How to connect the tweeters w/my new amp?
my car has no amp originally
the tweeters are in the door. i don't wanna tear down the door to change the tweeters but my new amp just has 4-ch, 2 for front, 2 for rear how to connect the tweeters w/my new amp? twist the lines of the tweeter w/the lines of the front speakers that output from the amp? will it burn the tweeters? thx! |
Just run them in parrallel with the front speakers but make sure you cap the tweeters.

if your changing the mid-bass, u may as well change the tweeter as well. if its any respectable amp i'm almost assured that you will implode the tweeter. especially if you do not put it on a high pass filter. it may last at low volume for a while, but the more volume, the drastically shorter lifespan it will have. |
^^certainly a better way to go...depends on your level of commitment and involvement. The cap is still better than nothing at all though.

if the amp u plan to run has a high pass crossover built into it....run the tweeter on the front channel, run the front midbass on the rear channel, then u have a bi-amp setup and leave the rear speakers on head unit power.

^^that's a good suggestion!

you need a high pass crossover for the tweeter, not a cap.

A capacitor in line with a tweeter would be a simple first order passive network (6 dB/Octave) whose high pass will be determined by the value of the capacitor selected.

^ the voltage rating of the capacitor used would be taken into consideration.
