Powering/Installing Tweeters? - Toyota Yaris Forums

eii · 01-12-2010, 05:31 PM

I dont know much about installing tweeters, but I really want some better highs now. I understand they come with crossovers to play the correct frequencies. Though thats not what powers them (right?) and I wanna know what you guys usually do when installing tweeters. Currently I have this amp to power the 2 front speakers and 2 rear speakers in the car:

KICKER ZX200.4 CAR STEREO 200 WATT 4CH AMP AMPLIFIER

Thus all spots are taken on the amp. I am currently just planning on using the 2 front speaker wires from my HU (Alpine iDA-X100 - http://www.crutchfield.com/p_500IDAX...ures_and_specs) for the tweeters, but I'm thinking that wouldnt balance out with the amped speakers and sub I am running. Do you guys usually buy an amp for tweeters, or do get amps that have the feature to connect tweeters+speakers+subs+etc (if it exist).

Considering some low level entry tweeters from crutchfield if that makes any difference. Any other info needed will be provided on request

Thxthx

If you bought a kicker component set it should have come with two passive crossovers. one for each side. you would plug your front mids as well as the highs(tweeters) into the passive crossover. The amp wire to the fronts should go into the passive crossover and then distribute the power to the speakers.
