Got an Audison VRx 4.300 powering my active setup which consists of Focal K2P mids and TN-53 tweets amp currently running all 4 speakers

Gets really hot so i'm thinking mids not getting enough tweets probably not using most of what they get so i'm thinking of getting a small amp just for the tweets and bridging amp to 2 channel mode for the mids.

Should i do that ? And how much power do tweeters really need ?

I had audison LRX amps about 5 years ago. they got really hot and eventually cut out.
I returned/exchanged them for Alpine amps.
Im assuming these audison amps dont dissipate heat very well.
Use 1 amp for tweeters, and 1 for mids. That's what Im doing.

This is exactly what I did last week and it made a huge difference all around. The mid-bass came back to life and resolved some tuning issues that I was encountering. I am putting 50 watts rms per tweet and 180 per mid-bass driver.

50watts RMS per tweeter is all anyone would ever need for sure.

200 w rms for 10 watt tweeters - really ?

in an active setup you can use as much as you want. keep in mind it not always 200rms.

You can have 5000watts a driver if you want to get crazy about it. The OP just wants a small amp to augment his setup though and a 50wx2 RMS amp should be plenty.

I've used 20 watts/channel on the tweets (rated for 100 watts rms) with 120 watts to the mids with excellent results. In fact I still needed to attenuate the tweets a little (-3db) to blend better with the mids.

i run 75watts to my tweets, 150 to each of my 6.5s times 4 and 4000watts to my subs and everything is very balanced.... so is 50 to little is 200 to much... depends on the speakers the build, music content, ect.. but i like between 50-100 watts for tweets...
i really never want to underpower a tweeter as clipping eats them but two much power can always be tonned down to appropriate levels...
