new tweeters or composite
 

I can't decide what kinda of speakers to replace my dash tweeters with(they blew the other day), my options are euither 4x6 composite, 100$ or tweeters $70(i have 4 eclisp 200w rms 3 way speakers in each door and two jl w6 10" subs, so i want high perforamce tweeters or compsites as well, what would you guys perfer tweeters or compostis(and before you ask, yes i CAN put composites in the spot where the tweeters are, also waht brands or types do you guys think are worth buyong(suggesting)

RE: new tweeters or composite
 

i got my Infinity 6412cfp for $48 shipped from www.onlinecarstereo.com

they are a 4x6 plate with a 3" driver and a 1" tweeter. they take a little modification (more like, the speaker grill needs mods) to fit on the drivers side but not much.

RE: new tweeters or composite
 

a custom car audio shope dose it for me for basicly free, like 10$ per every job(hey it cant be completely free), so hes goon mod them, btut wat would sound better with my current set up tweeters or composites, casue im not sure if i need sime more mid-range or more high-range?

RE: new tweeters or composite
 

You should always co with a component set over a coaxial if you have the ability. The signal seperation allows for better clarity and response. Also, the way sound waves roll off any cone shaped other than a circle, it just doesnt sound like it should. So 4x6's, 6x9's 5x7's, IMO should all be replaced with round coaxials or components. All it takes is some slight modifications and the results ar far better than direct swaps...So my advice would be the component plate, or 6.5 midbass in the door with a tweeter in the dash...

RE: new tweeters or composite
 

so no 4x6 go with reg tweeters? o and what kind of amp do i use for jl w0 10" see i bought them off of a friend for basicly nothing and i thought they were w6's but they are actuall w0's what amp do i need for those?

RE: new tweeters or composite
 

I wouldnt do just tweeters. Either do a 4x6 plate with the 3" mid and tweeter. Or, Get a 6.5" component set and put the midbass in the front door and the tweeter in the dash...


For the 10W0's...IIRC they are 125wrms each, so you will need an amp that does ~250wrms. What is the coil config on the subs?

RE: new tweeters or composite
 

id have to look, casue i have a 1400w boss amp right now hooked up to them, they arent straining or anything so is this amp ok? o and ill get coil config tommorow

RE: new tweeters or composite
 

Boss wouldnt be my first choice. And I dont understand how you are hooking up an amp without knowing ohm loads. That can be concidered a little carless imo...Also, 1400w is the MAX power on that boss amp. look at the RMS number, that should be the only thing your concerned with...Get me the coil confics and the model# of the amp you have...

one sec

thats one, and i just have it hoocked up let channel-left sub, right channel-right sub

RE: new tweeters or composite
 

those specs dont tell us anything.....

RE: new tweeters or composite
 

Output Power

2 x 250W RMS @ 4Ohm 0.01% THD

Do you have the specs of the subwoofers? Idealy the coiland impedence info, like cloak said before. We can't do much without those specs.

RE: new tweeters or composite
 

and if that amp did anywhere near 250w per channel or even in the ball park of 150 i would be shocked.

RE: new tweeters or composite
 

man im not trying to be rude but if your buddy has a shop and only charges you 10 bucks to install then why dont he hook you up with better equipment? that boss amp is prolly giving you 100 watts if that,,and what they are asking is are the subs 4 ohm, 2 ohm, dvc 4 ohm, or dvc 2 ohm,,,that makes all the difference in the amp you run. you can prolly check ebay for a cheap fosgate amp that does about 250 and would be better than that boss. just an observation,,not bashing

RE: new tweeters or composite
 

welllike ive said before i bought the amp on my own, he did tell me, and i got that becasue it was the o nly big one that sears had sold at the time i had gooten the gift cards

RE: new tweeters or composite
 

ZZZzzz...Waiting on coil configs...its either D4, D2 or D6...

RE: new tweeters or composite
 

ll when there in the box, and the connections are facing down making it almost impossible to see the,

RE: new tweeters or composite
 

Im guessing you dont own a VOM or DMM?

RE: new tweeters or composite
 

take em out of the box,,surely you have a drill

RE: new tweeters or composite
 

tellme wat it stands for casue its late and i cant think of anything
omg i just saw another post of w3's i think mine are w3's? mabe im not sure

https://blazerforum.com/m_127412/tm.htm

ok where on the sub do i look for info, the back of tha magnet? casue ill look tommorow

casue the guy who showed them to me, said they were w3's but someone else said they were w0's

RE: new tweeters or composite
 

yeah thats a good start

RE: new tweeters or composite
 

if the sticker is still in tact it should say on the bottom of the motor/magnet what model the sub is and the ohm load. The ohm load is also sometimes labeled at the posts as well...

VOM- Volt/Ohm Meter
DMM- Digital Multi-Meter

RE: new tweeters or composite
 

yup got both of thoses, i was gonna be an eltrical enginner before i got into criminal justice, so i have alot of different meters and testing equitment

RE: new tweeters or composite
 

if anything an electrical engineer should be able to figure that out.....

RE: new tweeters or composite
 

here they are click this link

then click 10w0

it its the 10w0-8

RE: new tweeters or composite
 

i think you should buy my JL subs if you are going to talk about them!! lol

RE: new tweeters or composite
 

i would but i wont have the mone for a few weeks
or id bee able to get hem all in april

RE: new tweeters or composite
 

Well, from what I can tell its a single 8ohm driver. Which means you can parallel the pair down to a 4ohm load. This is the optimal load for most 2-channel amplifiers. So if that is indeed the case then this amp should work perfectly with your setup Kicker ZX250.2

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 tippman cann afford it to
