My first post. Thank you all for having me. The pleasure is all mine.
The question is at the bottom if you don't wanna read jibberish.
Ok I'm a little " Ol' School" I come from the days of "River Runs" in Laughlin, "Truck Runs" to Havasu, and "Sound Offs" at the local park in my 88 Toyota p/u running: 10 Fozgate 12's,a few 4 and 6" mids in the kicks, some Tweets, couple Orion/Soundstream/Punch amps, Electronic crossovers, and even some "Horn Tweets" and Coustic amps when money was tight, all running off that green lit, Alpine "Pullout", 8xs oversampling deck that would skip over every pothole that I had to slow and go over at a 45 degree angle. so I didnt crack my oil pan "Again". Ahh Memories!
Thats where I coming from... Heres where I am...
I have a 87 Jeep Wrangler soft Top. I have 2 12" Momo's in a ported box, 2 8" Kickers downfiring in the center console, running off the Hifonics Goliath amp, 2 Sony Xplode 6x9's( I Know! But its a convertible and I need speakers that can get rained on, cause I cant cover them with anything in the position they are) and a set of componant Alpine 6 1/2s in the doors running off a 4 channel Infinity 7541 amp, and two Infinity 4" coax in the dash running off the Eclips LCD head.Oh and a Power Acoustic Crossover.
My Question: The Alpine 6 1/2's (not including seperate tweets) in the door are rated at 50 watts Rms 100watts max at 4 ohms, I've been running them off 2 channels the Infinty 7541a 350 watts x2/150x4 amp, and they not only cut out with the gain turned all the way down, before I get the sound level I'm looking for( Understanding that level is way louder than most people want), but I have to run them at a crossover point "Higher" than I'd like. Now without going into some squelching coax's, Do I have to look at building some panels and putting more mid's in the door like back in the day? Most music these days is all Bass and "High Hat", but God forbid, I want to rock some Metallica, or some Crue and and not have to tune my woofers up so that they make that horrible reverb sound. Am I running "Too much Power" ? Am I looking for these things to do more than there capable of. What happened to Mid Bass and Midrange? Did 50 cent steal it?
Sorry to be so wordy but my ......Ahhh Shutup Already!
ok
Thanks
