Is this setup possible?
Headunit: Sony CDX F5700
Factory Speakers: 4 x 6.5" (wattage guessing 140W) + 1 x 1" tweeter Amp: Sony XM2100GTX (http://www.xplodsony.com/products/?C...&MD=XM-2100GTX) Subwoofer: Sony 10" XSL101P5 (http://www.xplodsony.com/products/?C...s&MD=XS-L101P5) I am wondering if the following setup is possible or not: Setup: 1. Attach rear speakers to amplifier. 2. Bridge subwoofer across both channels. 3. Add passive crossover components to effectively remove mid and high frequencies from reaching the subwoofer. This is a temporary setup (till I can afford the rest of the stuff) to get better bass compared to what comes from factory speakers. Later I plan to replace the amp with a more powerful amp to power the sub (add another sub possibly to make it isobaric) and use the 2100GTX to power the mid and high drivers. Is this a reasonable setup to approach? I would appreaciate any help. Thanx AB |

Passive components in the subwoofer side of the spectrum tend to be pricey (although Radio Shack sells some cheap coils for this purpose - around 12 bucks I think) and this only gives you a 6dB/oct slope. More importantly, your output will be attenuated - you'll probably hardly notice the sub. Frankly, I'd just amplify one or the other right now and wait until you can afford another amp. Besides, for a little more money than what passive crossover components would cost you, you could buy a cheap amp off of ebay, at least as a temporary solution. |
