so if i bridge the amp to 2 channels, and the amp when bridged gives 140Wx2, does that mean the woofer and tweeter each get 75W a piece, approx?

by GlassWolf » Mon Apr 18, 2005 5:40 pm

with a component set, each speaker gets around half of the power, or at least the power is divided.. not always evenly.
often the tweeters are 8 ohms to attenuate them a bit.
yeah I said to bridge the amp so you get full power to two channels for one set of separates

yea, thats what i had asked previously. that confuzzles me too haha

I have a question about components.

When you feed the crossover 50 watts, do both speakers get 50 watts or does each speaker get 25?

Sorry to steal the thread, but it seemed to fit.

yea, i couldnt imagine 140W of sound blaring 2 ft away from me o_O. i think i may be better off running them @50W and feed the rears 50W also. i know all about the debate over front sound stage but this will do perfectly fine for now until i figure out what i am going to do about my sub situation.

You'd probably be better with the 140, but you should try the 50 first and compare the two. If you decide to stay at 140, be careful with how you listen to them. Don't play them very loudly for long.

well, i got the Eclipse EA3422.. it puts out 50WRMSx4 @4ohm and 140Wx2 @4ohm bridged. i can even put it in 3 ch mode but im not sure about how much each channel gets.

the diamond audio components are listed at 60-120WRMS. do you think bridging the amp and putting 140W into the components is too much? keep in mind i have a set of eclipse coaxials for the rear.

by William from NOLA » Mon Apr 18, 2005 5:02 pm

Oh, I thought I read that you were using two sets of components, whoops.

How much power are you wanting to throw at the components? If the bridged output is what you want, do what Jszar says.

by MrSo0h0o » Mon Apr 18, 2005 4:59 pm

ahh thats right.. i forgot he said to bridge *knocks self on head*

so how would the wiring work to do that?

by Jszar » Mon Apr 18, 2005 4:49 pm

i think maybe he was saying that you could bridge the 4 channels into 2 to give you more power. you definetly want each component wired through the crossover.
