Once i get my tweeter covers in the mail, im going to be rewiring my speakers to a 4 channel amp. Has anybody else here done this? I already have my Kenwood wired to 2 12" kicker comps in my trunk with a bettery powering an audiopipe mini amp in my trunk (yes my car runs off 2 batteries-stops my headlights from dimming). I have an 8" speaker in each door(idk the make/model as i got them from a friend that moved recently)and he also spliced in tweeters from the speakers. In the rear i have 2 sony explods installed (not sure of the size b/c the previous owner had them installed).
This will be my first attempt at wiring speakers and i have no clue really what im doing. Can anybody help? I have already bought 16 gauge speaker wire and another set of rca cables. All will be wired to an older 4 channel Sony amp until i can afford a newer one. -------------------- Auto 94 ST COUPE w/ 225k miles

The amplifier has build-in filters, I don't know why you suggest he buys that...

If you connect a tweeter directly to the amplifier, it will burn out soon enough cuz its not build to handle low and mid-range frequencies. -------------------- JDM ST205

As I said, the amplifier has filters and you are wrong. It will filter all of the frequency range depending on your setting and the speakers you are going to connecting. -------------------- |

Even if the amp has the filters, ts already has 4 speakers he want to connect. In that case he doesnt have the terminals left to even connect them to the amp. Connecting tweeters directly to any amp is a waste of channels and your tweeters will die real soon. If you want to take that risk, be my guest but I'd rather spend 30 bucks and do it the right way -------------------- JDM ST205
