dont the tower speakers come with cross overs in them?

If they have tweeters like the kickers you have now, but dont know about the W/S

[CP3]

yea idk about wet sounds either. why dont you open up those wetsound you have with you?

Those separate the tweeter info from the mid info.

I am talking about preventing any bass info...

Here are specs for the amp.

BL1600

Max power, 2 ohm
400w x 4

RMS power, 4 ohm
180w x 4

Bridged power
800w x 2

Max power, 1 ohm
n/a

Signal-to-noise ratio
>105 dB

THD
0.01%

Dimensions, LxWxH
12 3/8” x 11 5/16” x 2 3/8”

We are going to have fun running 4 pairs through your tower, CP3 Gonna need about 100ft of wire!

Good match IMO.

I know I got to go buy it. I figure run 3 wire thru each side

chp and I were trying to figure out how to rewire my amps.

I have 2 1600 W amps right now that each have 2 30 amp fuses, and an 800 watt amp that has 2 30 amp fuses.

curently they are wired with a 4 gauge wire running to the 1st 1600 then 8 split off of that amp to the second 1600. then I have a seperate 8 gauge wire running to the 800.

We are going to add a new amp 1600 W amp to the mix for a total of 3 1600W and an 800W. what is the best way to wire the power wires for these things, with what gauge?

Here is what we are looking @:

(1) 800w @ 60amps
(3) 1600w @ 60amps ea. = 108a's total

I would say run 2 0ga from the batts to a dist. block in the console, then from the dist block to the amps w/ 4ga

so you would need:

apx 40' red 0ga
apx 40' blk 0ga
4 dist blocks
2 fuse holders/circut bkr
apx 6' red 4ga
apx 6' blk 4ga

You have 1 fuse/bkr already and plenty of 4ga (already installed) did I miss anything

wheres a good place for distribution blocks? If you know of some that will work could you buy them and Ill pay you when I get there for them cuz this is such a small town. Im going to see about fuses and wire right now at napa

BestBuy or Circuit City should have Blocks. I would go with Circuit bkrs over fuses. what do you have on the one power feed now, if you know.

I have a big kicker fuse on the 4 gauge and like a 30 on the 8 gauge

See if you can tell what the kicker is rated at, should be a little more than the load i.e. 2 1600w amps at 120amps

CP3,

The best I have found so far: from NAPA

1ga 25' roll = $112 x 4 = $448 (2 red, 2 blk)
4ga 25' roll = $63.00 x 6 = $378 (4 red, 4 blk but you have 1 of ea already)

No dist blocks if you go with 1 4ga per Amp

I could probably get this wholesale from NAPA through HQ, but this would take till next week because their local store would have to order it.

Still checking other options.

I think we figured out what we are doing for tommorow but I think it might be cheaper if we go 0 gauge to a big dis block then to 4 gauge for the 3 1600 W and leave the 800 on its own wire which it already has. that way I dont have to buy 4 gauge
