Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Audio inline crossover for tweeters

Here's the story...I have 6.5's in the front and rear doors running a 4-channel 45W amp. I have a second amp and just about ready to score some subs. I also have some tweeters that hav been lying around. I connected those to the front stereo output a I am looking for suggestions for crossovers. I know they make inline crossovers for tweeters, and that would work but I cannot find them anywhere?

You can build your own if you want a 12db crossover. Use the charts on this page.

Very easy with Dave's link.

If you aren't into that, Parts Express has a nice two-way that I use, but you're stuck at 4kHz for 4ohms.

Here's a more general question. What crossovers do you recommend for my system. I have my dual RCA's going to my 4-channel. That will go out to my 4 6.5's and the line-out will go to my 2 channel to drive my woofer. The 4-channel amp has filters (high-pass for the 4 speaker outs and low to the second amp). So where do I need crossovers. I have those tweeters powered by the deck itself, not the amp. Any help is appreciated!

NitDawg- What kind of amplifier are we talking about here? What ohm rating are your speakers? What kind of speakers? Are they coaxial, mid-bass, woofers, etc. These are all important facts that need to be placed on your posting in order for anyone on this site to help you out. Do you need front and rear fading capabilities? What kind of deck are you using? The more information you post, the better off you'll be in obtaining your answers.

Take care,

Okay, I have a pair of eclipse 8263 6.5s in the front (40 W), infinity kappa 6.5's in the back (i'm not sure about the wattage on them). They are powered by a Kenwood KAC-645 4x45 amp (rated 25x4 at 4 ohms, 35W at 2 ohms). I believe these speakers are 4 ohms (just a guess there).

Tweeters are Alpine 6017, 30 W RMS.

My second sub is a pyle millennium PL205 (250x4, 350x2) with no woofer picked out yet.

So I guess I need woofer/box suggestions and crossover ideas.

Thanks!
