one amp, two subs, low funds

every tweeter needs some sort of crossover, if your amp will filter them at around 4000Hz then you can hook them up straight to the amp and set it like that. if not then expect blown tweeters if you use then unfiltered.

thanks now i know why i had to get new tweeters. i have old  crossovers from the last ones can i use them on the new tweeters or do they have to be a specific kind of crossover. sorry if i seem slow but i needto ask so i dont spend later lol.

well it is true that each crossover/tweeter combo is designed to work together specifically but anything is better than nothing. using a crossover from another tweeter might not protect the tweeter as good as one that is made to work with that specific tweeter. if you change the tweeter then you change the way the crossover will perform too because the crossovers filter points and filter slope work based off of the tweeters electrical properties.

So i have the older rockford t1 power tweeters the ones with the metal buckets can i just get the new t1 power crossovers and and those or should i try to go with the originals

Thanks for all the info i will be telling everyone in my class about this site it really is a joy to work on your on things even better if it works after lol.

honestly, there is no way to easily know for sure but i suspect that you will be fine using the old crossovers.

Yeah i installed over the week end sounds great. Thanks for all info i was right on point and you didnt try to get me to buy new stuff like they do at the shop instead of telling what u need to but i guess thats how they make money but it wont be mine anymore. I love this site !!!!

Should i also upgrade my wires to 0 gauge from 4 gauge or should i just get some good 4 gauge wire and redo my run from my from the front battery to the one in my trunk. Im running a skar audio 1500 mono block and a rockford bd 1000 mono and little cheap phoenix gold 300 4 channel amp on mids an highs.

Ok just installed my new amp kit tsunami 1040d. Thank you 12 volt .com i used to be scared to do a full system but not anymore. I advise anyone with a little know how to never go to a stereo shop an get ripped off and do your research an diy. They were running 1 jl audio w7 12 an 1 rockford t2 12, skar audio 1500 mono block an 1 rocckford 1000 bdcp mblock an phoenix gold 400 4 channel on 4 gauge soundquest wires an this was done at the stereo shop by (professionals) they had my system starving for power and im lucky they didnt ruin my amps or anything else. I think they were mad i didnt buy the subs frm them in the first place n when i realized what they did thats when i started my research an found this site. God is good. You know it may not be the loudest but i did it all buy myself and it slammmmmmms.. thanks 12 volt.com

I have 1 jl w7 12inch sub 3ohms and 1 rockford fosgate t2 d4 12inch sub 4ohms in the same box but the ports seperate the subs in the middle of box. I have a scar 1500 on the rockford sub an i have a rockford bd1000 ont the jl. Will it ruin my subs or do i have to still have the same subs . It hits hardnow but i dont really want to ruin my subs if it will cause damage to them.
