i remember reading on the selenium website that their drivers and tweeters need to be powered by an amp of double the power of the tweeter/ driver to properly play it

what?
Also, this is for a daily car for casual listening/limes, or you gonna compete?

^^^ i play the drivers from 1500 hz up, i use the small prv flare, i had a problem before when i had 2 drivers and 2 tweeters where i kept blowing tweeters because i could not get the tweets to play from 5000 hz up because of insufficient tuning capability on the cross/ amp, a padna was telling me if i use the resistor and condenser the tweeter would read 0 ohms and play the frequencies i want from it

alex jj wrote:^^ i play them from 1500 hz upwards the same way i play my mids speakers from 150 hz upwards.. i decided i would leave the tweeters out of the equation and build single mids boxes housing a pair of 8's with the driver in the middle.... nerve is it important to have a crossover point that the speakers cannot play above or will the speakers just not be able to play the frequencies? and which crossover would be able to give me those tuning abilities?
alex jj wrote:hmmm... well the speakers are capable of playing from 70 - 3000 but are able to take more power crossed higher... i guess im lacking the frequencies between the bass and speakers but im getting rid of my 36 hz bass box for a 45 hz one so there will be a bit less of a gap... i'll look in to a new cross
alex jj wrote:lol u brutal...i have a 36 hz box right now which is very good for subsonic reproduction and very pleasurable for in car listening but next to the raj's with their high bass boxes my bass just doesn't cut it in an open area.. and i plan to compete with this system, not listen to it every day..
