Posted December 29, 200915 yr dont bash this idea to hard but id like to hear some thoughts on it.alittle info:dad drives a 03 f150 and his equipment right now is a Panasonic hu, polk db 5.25" coax upfront and a cheapy clarion sub (4ohm svc) in a box behind the center console in the backseat and a 2 channel amp that is bridged to the sub.amp is a walmart sony xplod... so we're talking maybe 150x2 @ 4 ohms (probably less). my idea:make him a tri way crossover... (really i just want to mess around to see if it works) so, if i understand the idea, i would set the amp to full range and design a passive xover for the speakers. so the sub would be bridged to 4 ohms and a lpf will be used @ ~70hz and the speakers would be high passed at ~100hz, each with a seperate xover? add Lpad (i think this is what they are called: reduces power to mids) to the mids. this doesnt have to sound good but he's looking for alittle more output from the mids... and i think it would be a fun project while im on break... not like i dont have enough to do with my car lol....
