I've been looking around for component sets that are biampable but have found none. Does anyone make them?

I'm likely going to put together my own component sets using a Dayton RS 7" woofer and a tweeter (haven't found one that will fit, so I will likely have to buy a car audio tweeter, maybe an Infinity) then put together my own crossovers. Doing so will allow me to biamp them.

 

I run Polk Audio Momo Carbon 6.5s, which can be bi-amped. In fact, I'm bi-amping mine.

Alpine Type X components are also bi-ampable, and have a bunch of jumpers to tune them.

 

if youre thinking about biamping, why not just run an active crossover?

the weakness of component sets are the crossovers. you cant tune your crossover freq or the crossover slope.

have you been on www.DIYmobileaudio.com before?

there is a ton of good information on there if you plan to do a DIY component set.

 

Active crossovers are great, but also requires an amp. The whole reason I wanted biampable components is because I could then utilize all four channels of my headunit. Buying a 4chan amp would defeat the purpose of trying to save money, which is what I am trying to do.

 

Wait your going to bi amp your crossovers using the HU??? So your going to use the rear channels to power the tweeters?

You know its not going to sound right? ... right?

 

It will work just fine assuming the components have the abilty to be Bi-Amped.

Which means that the tweeters have their own crossover which is seperate from the crossover (if any) for the woofers.

It essentally allows him to put twice the power into his speakers, and if his headunit has 4 channel time alignment he could have a superior sound stage than a typical 2channel setup.

granted its still only a total power of 30 or 40watts RMS, but that is much better than only 15rms to drive the components.

 

Yeah but your forgetting his not using an amp to feed them the right signals. What he's doing is having the front and rear channels on the same door. If he listens to anything that was recorded in more than 2 channels is going to sound messed up. So anything recorded say in the last 20 years will sound wrong.

Sure the speakers can be driven that way, but the sound will be all off. He's going to have the front and rear speakers be on the same door. If you don't think that will sound messed up you should stop and think about it for a second.

If he was using 2 front amps it would be fine but he's using one(the HU which is 4 channels of music 2 front and 2 rear) If you listened to a plane fly by in the music to it will sound messed up.

 

When you Bi-amp you want to use the same channel to power that set with the same signal not 2 totally different channels.

 

What you are doing isnt bi-amping.

Biamping is 2 channels of power with one channel of signal. You have 2 and 2.
