Posted January 29, 201312 yr Im wondering the best way to wire these speakers to my RF P300-2I was thinking the 4x6's on 1 channel the tweeters on another but idk about the ohmsBut I want to make sure because Rockford is not cheap!Thanks for any inputTweet: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_18209_Rockford-Fosgate-P1T-S.html4x6: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_19506_Rockford-Fosgate-Power-T1462.htmlamp: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_16058_Rockford-Fosgate-Punch-P300-2.html
January 29, 201312 yr If you wire the 4x6's to one channel and the tweets to another you wont have any channel seperation between the speakers. Wire one 4x6 and one tweeter in parallel to each channel.
January 30, 201312 yr Have you bought any of this equipment yet? If not i would recommend you step back and re-evaluate. After looking at the specs on those 4x6's you'll be over powering them by a good bit. If you already have the equipment or you still want to buy it be careful with the gain and EQ.

January 30, 201312 yr These posts are all good things to consider. Why not just get a 4 channel as you may want to wire more speakers in after these.

January 30, 201312 yr Author Thanks for the answers guysUnfortunately theres no changing the speakers or ampI was gonna take it easy on the gain (i like too much bass anyways)I thought that a 4x6 parallel to a tweet would be bad cause of mismatching speakersWhen you say add a crossover between them, do you have one that you would recommend?I thought the box things with the tweeters was crossovers (high pass filter)Please inform me! lol thanks
January 30, 201312 yr Start over and share more information.As to your initial question with what we know so far you shouldn't wire the 4x6 and tweet at all.
January 30, 201312 yr Author Start over and share more information. As to your initial question with what we know so far you shouldn't wire the 4x6 and tweet at all. Im confused as to what else is needed pls ask awayThe amp and speaker choice is it and cannot be undoneHowever a future speaker upgrade to the amps potential would be niceI dont understand why this amp+speaker selection is so wrongIm going to do my best to set the gain so as to not clip themEDIT: 4x6 was chosen because that is the factory size in the door of the car Edited January 30, 201312 yr by Truconcept
January 30, 201312 yr Author The parallel choice is the only way I keep my stereo but id rather have no stereo than see magic smokeIf I go parallel does it matter which speaker I run from the amp first in the chain?
January 30, 201312 yr It won't work. You HAVE to change your amp or speaker choice. Perhaps both. As for what other information that is clearly stated in the noob posting guidelines. In my sig if you want links...next to the W.
January 30, 201312 yr one 4x6 and one tweeter on each channel, but you need a passive filter, at least for the tweeter. Or a crossover.Why did you get a 2 channel amps for 4 speakers ?I see a lot of people do it like that, and I can't understand that. They want 2 channel amp because they think it will give them more power to use !!!
January 30, 201312 yr We're saying don't because it will sound like warm @ss. The 4X6 already has a tweeter, why do you want 2 more? Do you have a sub stage? We're not trying to be jerks, but it you already bought this equipment, it's not going to sound very good. Your midbass will be way quieter than all the highs from the tweeters, you'll have multiple speakers playing the same frequency so imaging will sound terrible. If you want real help do what M5 said and post us that info.
January 30, 201312 yr So your guys advice is dont do it..... wow.thanksNoAs to your initial question with what we know so far you shouldn't wire the 4x6 and tweet at all.
January 30, 201312 yr Holy crap a bunch of dumbass answer in here.If you wire one 4x6" and one tweeter per channel it'll work perfectly, and sound just fine. I've done that EXACT setup in a few customers cars and they are always tickled pink. Just make sure to get the L/R position correct. Edited January 30, 201312 yr by bassahaulic

I got 1" tweeters cause theres a spot in my door for them to replace the factoryI have no intentions of running the 4x6 as a midrangeIm running two hifonics brz1200 on two lanzar opti1232Dso trying to use the 4x6 as a midrange would be silly, I know thisMy OP is the whats the best way to wire these speakers to my ampwithout seeing magic smoke from mismatched impendance or anything elseNot SQ guesses, thanks thoI still dont know if the crossovers that come with the tweeters suffice as a passive crossover?if running a tweet and 4x6 parallel, does it matter which speaker i wire first to the amp?should i be like fuck stereo and seperate them because of impendance diff? Idk the impendance on either the tweet or 4x6-ty

Idk the impendance on either the tweet or 4x6 -ty What else will the 4x6" be beyond a midrange/highend speaker? The crossovers that came with it are just that, crossovers, stopping bass from getting to your tweeters.No, just as long as they are both connected you will be fine.And hell no!! Run stereo, the ohm load will work out to 2ohm stereo which the amp is perfectly capable of doing. Edited January 30, 201312 yr by bassahaulic
January 31, 201312 yr Author which amp would you recommend? and i have stared at that pic for hours i dont see the W
January 31, 201312 yr Author I could keep my lanzar vector piece of garbage insteadhttp://www.amazon.com/Lanzar-VCT2100-Vector-Channel-Amplifier/dp/B001582RXEi really dont want to put rockford on thisbut maybe the tweets?
