Hello all,
I am planning on doing a 8 speaker system off a taramps ds 4x440 watt 2ohm amplifier. They will run off a kenwood single din radio. Seemed easy enough but everything is so complicated when you decide step outside the field of walmart coaxiles. For the system, I want to hook up 4 4 ohm ds18 150 watt rms mid range speakers to the amplifier and put them each on their own channel. From their, id like to run a 4 ohm tweeter parallel to each speaker, this is where the fun starts. Firstly, if I run a 4 ohm tweeter parallel to a 4 ohm speaker, that should give me a 2 ohm load on the channel (which is good since its a 2 ohm amp). Second, each speaker will be receiving 110 watts rms. Does this mean that the tweeters also have to be 110 watts rms each? Is their any that can handle 110 watts rms and be 1 in big? I can't find any that can (all I find is ******** cheap brands that only show the peak watt of the combined pair). Also, do I need a crossover or compactor? Is a crossover a compacter? What type should I use? What do the decibel settings mean? Its all very confusing. Thanks in advance who ever is able to tackle this!
