12 tweeters from one amplifier, how did he do that?

[slim142 9]

Ok I dont understand how the guy from the tahoe is running 12 tweeters from one T600.2?

Yes I also dont understand how two 1000.4 amplifiers are running ten 6.5inch speakers, two 4inch midranges and two 8inch midbass

Can somebody tell me how is that wired? doesnt so many speakers on each channel cause the impedance to be insanely low causing the amp overheat or inestability?

am I missing something here?

[cheese20323 13]

it depends the ohmage can be so low or pretty high but he most likely has it at 2 ohm but i can run 100 woofers to 1 amp and not have a problem as long as it is in the right impedance for the amp.

What ohm are the tweeters?

If they are 8ohm....he can run 6 too each channel parrellel and be at 1.3ohm.

Your missing the ability to series speakers together instead of parallel.

Yes, he is. It may also be a series-parallel circuit.

That's what I'm thinking, get it somewhere close to 2ohm per channel.

Ok I understand you can run series and parallel, but I thought that only applied to subs (where dual voice coils come into action)?

Dont tweeters have only 1 negative and 1 positive?. So how can you pick whether to run in parallel or series?

The only thing that comes to mind is this: AMP->Tweeter->Tweeter->Tweeter-Tweeter->Tweeter

A tweeter is connected to the other one, then the other, then the other until the final one reaches the amp. Is this right?

You can series anything with voice coils.

Pretend each of these speakers are tweeters.

You forgot to replace the woofer pics with tweeter pics.

Boom......

[Sir-Lancelot 216]

Are the new T series Fosgate amps 1ohm stable in stereo. My silver T300.2 was. That damn amp was a beast.

[slim142 9]

Ok I understand now

But tahoe has 12 tweeters. 4 on each front door, 2 on each pillar and 2 more on the rear doors.

With 6 tweeters, how would you get 4ohm load?

mixture of series/parallel

You wouldn't need a 4ohm load, he was just posting the picture for example purposes.

Most 2-channel amps are stable to atleast 2ohm stable per channel, and some are 1ohm stable per channel (which I believe the RF Power amplifiers are 1ohm stable per channel). As long as the final impedance is a load the amplifier is stable at, that's all that matters.

You got a point

Thanks for clarification.

If I ever get 4 components for each door, ill come here and ask for the wiring setup lol

[Duran 387]

it depends the ohmage can be so low or pretty high but he most likely has it at 2 ohm but i can run 100 woofers to 1 amp and not have a problem as long as it is in the right impedance for the amp.

I leaned a new word today, "Ohmage"

that is some major nut hugging. Just like the squirrel from ice age.

Hommage in French means Tribute to !

But we say impédance for...ohmage!!!

The "how" is easy. The real question should be "why?"
