  1. Its been a long time, but I am still wondering about this question?? Now that there have been some new recent replies, would anyone know the answer? thanks.

    component systems split power???

    i see what you are saying, thanks! the thing that confuses me about that, is the kicker ss tweeters, kicker sells the ss component set rated at 100 watts, and they sell the ss tweeters seperately rated at 100 watts. I was just wondering if you broke up the component set, got rid of the crossovers, and had an active system, can they take 100 watts each (the mids, and the tweeters), considering the same tweeters sold seperately can handle that power? (again, I am not looking to put that much power to tweeters, i am just confused on how everything works). thanks again!

    component systems split power???

    thats the same thing that was confusing me. the main thing that stumped me was, if the whole component system is rated at 100 watts, then the tweeter and midrange should be able to handle that much power individually (with the proper frequency), incase i wanted to run an active system.... although that is alot of power and I would probably never do it, but in theory they should handle the power.

    component systems split power???

    The mid should take 100w, but the tweeter won't need anywhere near that much power to level match with the mid so don't worry about it thanks! yeah, i figure the tweeter will not need that much power, and I would not feed it that much power, i think it would be way to strong for my taste, but in theory, shouldn't it be able to accept 100 watts if that is what the components are rated at? thanks for everyones input, it helped out alot!!

    component systems split power???

    Thanks JimJ, so in conclusion (lol), if the component system is rated at 100 watts, I should have no problem running active with 100 watts to each tweeter, and 100 watts to each midrange, correct?

    component systems split power???

    ok thanks, but does that mean that i have to provide 200 watts of power to the component set? I still don't understand how both speakers can see the same amount of power, isn't there a split? i am sure you are right, but can you elaborate? thanks so much!! No you dont have to put 200watts. For an easy way think of it like this 20khz - 2khz (just example numbers) your tweeter receives 100 watts of the power and for 2khz to 60hz (just example numbers) the mid receives 100 watts. Its not splitting the power but splitting the frequency range. hope I explained it right and clear ok, awsome, great explanation!! thanks so much! out of curiousity, can the tweeter and the midrange play different frequencies (lets say 15khz, and 500hz) at the same time? or is there really a delay that we don't notice because it is to fast? mine sound like they go at the same time, but what do i know, i'm just wondering... thanks again for your help!

  8. Quick question that i should know but i don't. I know crossovers split frequencies to tweeters, and midranges, but do they split the power provided as well? For example, if I have kicker ss components which are rated at 100 watts, and I provide a 100 watts from my amp, are the tweeters seeing 50 watts, and the midranges seeing 50 watts? or does it mean, that there is a constant 100 watts of power being supplied to the tweets/midranges at the same time, making each speakers capabilites 100 watts rms? If they do split power, why do they rate the same exact tweeters which are sold seperatley(not part of a component set) at 200watts peak/100watts rms if they are only feeding them 50 watts in the component set???? man, I am confused!!! can anyone explain??? thanks.
  9. i googled it, but where can i find this "form finder"? thanks! you can find it at mobilesolutions.com, they also have them at other online stores with rulers built in, google "flexible curve"
  10. devildriver, just curious as to where you found those equations/formulas? I'm always trying to learn more, any links you would recommend?? or are those your own formulas??? thanks...

    alt/battery determination

    Is there a way, such as a calculation, or some type of rule of thumb to determine what alternator, as well as how many batteries it will take to run a certain system? Are there any guidelines to determine these values? For example, lets say i have a 5000 watt system, can i plug that into an equation, or some sort of outline to determine what size alternator i would need, and how many batteries i would need? or if i wanted an 8000watt system, same thing.... Is there a rule, like for every 1000watts you need a certain amount of amps within a battery? I am not trying to figure anything out for myself, I am just askin for basic knowledge to see if there is an easy way to determine this (mostly about the extra batteries part), thanks in advance!

    Did a little revamp to Dad's "EXPLODER"

    it does look better!!!
  13. ///M5, AWSOME tutorial on how to measure box tunning!! I was always wondering about that, now I finally have a conclusive answer on how to do it. The one question I was wondering about, is how to find box tunning when there are two or more subs(sharing the same enclosure airspace) as well as two or more amps in the setup? Would it be best to wire the subs in series(or parallel?), and just use one of the two amps to determine enclosure tunning(using the same method as you described)? or is there a completely different method for multiple subs and amps? thanks again!!!

    FI 418s 4th order single reflex bandpass design!!!

    yeah thats me. Thanks! I am glad you like the little demo. To be honest, my ears were killing me the rest of the night. Hopefully I could go louder, but i need some ear plugs from now on! I hope you get your box figured out, if I could help at all just let me know. Take care man!!
