I have 7" Vifa mids and also Vifa tweets, I was wondering how well they will sound running off a JBL P80.4 amp? I planned on getting a PPI FRX456 XOver but I have just run out of money. I still need to purchase the amp so I just want to know if its the right way to go, since I have them already mostly installed!! Thanks, -Matt 98 Silver Frost SVT Frostie

And just set each up to not play higher / lower then a certain frequency and they will be fine. If it doesnt have settings for 2 seperate setups, i still think it will play fine but you will get treble out of your mids, and "noise" out of your tweets.

Depending on which Vifa's you have, you will want a 2500 Hz to 3500 Hz CX point. Some Vifa's peak and roll off above 2500 Hz. Still Most tweeters can't play below 2500 Hz. The amp CX is not going to give you such CX points. Anthony B.

Run the tweets off the fronts and mids off the rears, should sound fantastic. BTW, this is the setup I've got. Vifa 7" PL's for the mids and Vifa Neo tweets driven by a 4ch Lanzar amp (90x4) using an active crossover (Audiocontrol 2XS). Although the 2XS is sitting in the closet right now, as I'm just using some passive crossovers right now until I install the new sub amp (which is also sitting in the closet). Too much stuff in the closet and not in the cars. 1999 Ford Contour SVT #900/2760 (SOLD) 2005 Mazda 6s 2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege 1998 Ford Ranger 4x4

I went with a custom passive crosover from Madisound and IMHO it sounds incredible. Pm me if you want more details. 1999 Blk/Tan CSVT #654 - SOLD 2003 Suzuki SV650s
