I have two sets of RF Punch components. I plan to wire one crossover to just the tweets and the other just to the mids. This will allow me to separately control the TA, EQ and balance of them.

Question is - Do I have to worry about too much power going to my tweets? My 800a4 puts out almost 140 rms @ 4ohms sounds like a lot for two Punch RF tweets. no? I haven't actually tested the ohms when the two tweets are wired together. Could be over 10 ... I thought that the mids usually use most of the power? no? What happens when there's no mid wired to the Xover?

Please shed a little light on this before I go out there to wire these and kill a tweet.

Thanks

 

You cant hook them up like that, if you wire 2 mids to 1 crossover you will either be cutting the impedence the crossover sees in half or doubling it, either way it changes the frequency cut-off for the crossover and they will sound like total crap..... the same thing with wiring 2 tweets to 1 crossover. when you have 1 tweet and 1 mid on a crossover they arent wired together the crossover seperates the frequencies and distributes the right freq to the right speaker so if the tweeter is 4 ohm and the mid is 4 ohm the crossover sees 4 ohm load not 2 or 8 and same with the amp it sees a 4 ohm load. If you have an active crossovfer that you are gonna run then just dont use the passive crossovers that came with the components and just run active. then you can just seperate the mids on a channel(s) and the tweets on the other channel(s) depending on if your using a 2 or 4 channel..... and use the active crossover to adjust them independently... hope this helps
