[Truconcept 58]

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.

[A.SMALL 17]

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.

I would advise you to use crossovers between the 4x6 and the tweeter as well.

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.

This.

Thanks for the answers guys

Unfortunately theres no changing the speakers or amp

I 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 speakers

When 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

Do you guys have any 4x6 recommendations for the power i have?

[lithium 358]

i would recommend not buy anything that you've listed

[Julian 641]

use 6x9 to 6.5" adapter s

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.

Agreed if you want to do it right take some time to help us help you.

Im confused as to what else is needed pls ask away

The amp and speaker choice is it and cannot be undone

However a future speaker upgrade to the amps potential would be nice

I dont understand why this amp+speaker selection is so wrong

Im going to do my best to set the gain so as to not clip them

EDIT: 4x6 was chosen because that is the factory size in the door of the car

The parallel choice is the only way I keep my stereo but id rather have no stereo than see magic smoke

If I go parallel does it matter which speaker I run from the amp first in the chain?

[///M5 2,833]

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.

[Truconcept 58]

So your guys advice is dont do it..... wow.

thanks

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 !!!

[SS Teacher 177]

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.

No

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.

I got 1" tweeters cause theres a spot in my door for them to replace the factory

I have no intentions of running the 4x6 as a midrange

Im running two hifonics brz1200 on two lanzar opti1232D

so trying to use the 4x6 as a midrange would be silly, I know this

My OP is the whats the best way to wire these speakers to my amp

without seeing magic smoke from mismatched impendance or anything else

Not SQ guesses, thanks tho

I 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

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.

which amp would you recommend? and i have stared at that pic for hours i dont see the W

[Truconcept 58]

I could keep my lanzar vector piece of garbage instead

i really dont want to put rockford on this

but maybe the tweets?
