6x9 speakers

What does it bridge out at 50x4, 120x2. I always get really good speakers but thats just me. If you run a lot of juice to any 6x9 you can blow them. I usually don't run a lot of gain(bass) to my door and rear deck speakers, I let my subs handle the bass. The door and rear deck speakers are more for my high's and mids. Eclipse speakers are pretty good. MB Quart are really good. I am running 6 1/2 components all away around. I have 6 1/2 Polk Momos in the rear and 6 1'2 Polk Components in the front. Don't run so much bass to the smaller speakers and they will last longer. Let the bass go to the subs.sisco_09 said:what kind of 6x9 do you guys suggest i should get? i have a 960 watt kenwood amp going to the speakers. i had some eclipse in there but they blew out yesterday...i'm guessing they couldn't handle the power.
What's your price range?
It isn't so much power that fries speakers as much as distortion.sisco_09 said:what kind of 6x9 do you guys suggest i should get? i have a 960 watt kenwood amp going to the speakers. i had some eclipse in there but they blew out yesterday...i'm guessing they couldn't handle the power.
Like Detained Civic says, make sure the low frequencies are properly crossed over so the subs do the heavy work of the low frequencies. If you have decent subs, roll your crossovers at 100Hz. When you try to make smaller drivers do those low frequencies the resistance drops so low in them that the amp does a thing called clipping, which means it is trying to put out more amperage than the speaker can handle at such a low impedance. If you are cranking your system to where it is driving the amp to clip, it won't matter what speakers you have back there. A good move would be to put some inline fuses in the positive line to the speakers to protect them from being fried. If you keep blowing fuses then you are either driving the sound into distortion, or your amp ain't all it is cracked up to be.
Not sure what you are asking here. Like Zoot 187 said get an inline fuse to put on the positive speaker wire, by doing this the fuse will blow cutting off your speaker help protecting it from blowing the speaker. If you have two amps one for the subs and one for the speakers. Then you need to tune the speakers first and bring the sub into the system last. THe smaller speakers are the most critical to tune. If you run to much power to them then you will have big problems. Smaller speakers run on high pass and run the subs on low pass. I would run the fronts at a high range and your deck speakers and a mid range. I am not sure what you are asking.sisco_09 said:but my speaker amp isn't going to the sub i have a seperate sub for my subs wut can i do now
get a decent speaker and a decent amp, if fused correctly you dont have to run a fuse on the positive side. Crossover and tune the amp correctly. 6x9 should be able to handle well at 60hz on up. I am a fan of the alpine type r system, way better for the money than other main brand names.
