![]() My system installed in a '96 Ford Explorer 4 dr. - Nakamichi CD-35 AM/FM CD player (35wx4, 0.1% THD internal amp; single set of preamp outs) - Rockford Fosgate 4600x 4 channel amp (30wx4 20-20k Hz, 0.08% THD) - 4 ea. Boston Acoustics 5x7/6x8 speakers (all mounted in doors) - Bazooka EL8A amplified (50w) tube sub Each channel of the sole set of preamp outs from the Nakamich head unit is split (using RCA y-splitters) and then fed into the Rockford 4 channel amp (one set rear, one set front). The Boston speakers are all run off of the Rockford amp...fronts off one set of speaker terminals, rears of the other set of speaker terminals. The sub is also attached to the rear speaker terminals on the Rockford amp, sharing those terminals with the rear speakers. The front crossover card in the Rockford amp is set to high pass position (100 HZ cutoff) and the rear crossover is set to full range in order to get the full bass response to the sub. I get LOTS of volume out of the sub in this configuration. Someone has suggested that I might get better sound out of the sub if I were to attach it to the NAK head unit's speaker leads instead of attached parallel (or is it in series?) with the rear speakers off the Rockford amp. Anyone have any comments or other suggestions? TIA! Bob |
