I want to put one or two 6.5 woofers (in each door) in a custom fiberglassed door panel much like Blazin_jason's component panels.
Few question first:
1. Is it possible to run two of these drivers off one channel of my amp (4channel)? So if I had 4 midbass drivers (2 in each door) i would only have to use 2 channels and have the other 2 for my components? (In series for example)
2. I would want to cross them at ~70-80 and cut them off at ~200... I dont want to run in mono, so i would need active crossovers right? How do you set this up?
3. Which of these look good? My 4 channel is 75w RMS per channel at 4 ohm, 150 @ 2 ohms.

Dayton

Tang Band (i would use the headunit If i went with these)

Audax

Alesis

Alesis CF

Generic

Thanks guys!!!

 

1)You can run two 4 ohm drivers in parallel on one amp but at two ohms that's only 150 for the pair.

2) You want to bandpass between 70-80hz and 200hz wtf?? I don't get why they would be mono, if you connect things right even bridging the amp can be in stereo.

What are your plans for the whole system? Something sounds screwy.

 

1. 150 for a pair is plenty (these are MIDBASS drivers... NOT SUBWOOFERS)
2. Yes I want to pick up the upper level of bass frequencies and then cut them off before they roll of too bad. To do this i would have to utilize the "mono" mode on the amplifier to have both hi and low crossovers. That why I asked how to setup active crossovers...

My system is already complete... midbass drivers would be an addition to fill the gap that my comps and my sub misses.

 

I didn't see that you had other mid ranges to fill the gap between midbass and tweet. 150w is fine for two 6.5s it's just a lot of people would run 150+ to a single good driver instead of two. I plan on running 250 per channel to a CDT 6.5 and tweeter component set when I have time. Active crossovers are straight forward, power, ground, remote, rca in, rca out (crossed over). Not all crossovers have high and low pass filters on the same channel.

 

Did you look at the links I posted? Most the drivers only handle 50-75w rms. I figure the daytons would be great because i have heard them and they were amazing, but the alesis get good reviews too. Check out that link and then let me know what you think. Im leaning toward dayton...

 

Of those choices I'd have to go with the Daytons. Even if they handle only 50w there is nothing wrong with giving them 100w (anymore is over kill imo). I'm actually planning on a 2 way Dayton bookshelf set up.

 

Thank for the input... glad we got that straightened out. My system is great as it is, just lacking in the upper midbass. Plus I cant sit still and love to fabricate.

Anyone else have experience with any of these drivers? Id really love to hear if anyone has heard the alesis...
