I decided to bridge my P400-4 4 channel amp to 2channels and run my front door speakers (Alpine TypeR 6.5" components). I have the amp set at high pass and gain is about 3/4 of the way up. What should my frequency be set at? I have it turned all the way down and have no distortion? The rear speakers (JVC TypeR 5x7s) are running off the deck only (JVC's KD-HDR1). I'm not sure if my settings are not right or what but it sounded better when I was running the amp to all speakers instead of just the front.

I did search the forums and couldn't find the answer I needed.

 

I'm thinking of replacing the P400-4 with a P800-4 so I can get power to the 5x7s too. Any other suggestions?

 

hey, jhogan, quick question.. Do you have your crossovers attached to anything in the armrest (velcro or something) or are they just free to move?

 

I used double stick foam tape.

 

I had a buddy of mine adjust the gains while I sat up front so I could hear the changes. I set the gains a tad more than half way and it sounds great. I just had too much power up front compared to the rest of the system. It's sounding really good now. The deck pushes just enough power to the rear doors for nice fill.

 

what is the 4 channel Watt continuous output on your amp?

 

Set your gains with a DMM (Digital Multi Meter). Do a search on here to find out more.

I told you to reset your gains on that email... Glad it worked for you.

 

Are you talking about that LONG WINDED post about setting the gains that I wrote?

 

Im not sure. But I remember it being covered once or so...

I think I heard it from CJ...

 

Rated Power
continuous power 50W x 4 @ 4-Ohms RMS
100W x 4 @ 2-Ohms RMS
200W x 2 @ 4-Ohms bridged RMS

 

So now you are running it bridged to 2 channels to the comps right?

Comparison please... Like I said, I have been kicking this one around for a while now.

Low_e_Red was right, the TypeR comps need power and this did the trick. Now I'm getting the power to them and the deck is giving just enough sound for rear fill. I think you will be happier with this setup Devildog101.
