@Mar 3 2005, 09:03 wat u mean is use ch 1 for left component and ch 2 for right component?isnt the component come wit tweeter as well? y still need to drive my tweeter wit HU? and one more thing...how bout the High frequency and low frequency thingy?do an 4 ch amp can tune high for 1st 2 ch and low for the other 2?

i think what he meant is by running active... normally in a passive setup, by using a passive xover, you only have 1 input on each passive, thus utilizing only 2 channels from the amp for the component. If you're running active however, you need 4 channels, like the valeraine components yes, 1st 2 ch can use for high or low, depends on the amp also. Certain amps can certain can't [/b][/quote] i got it..the little box tht come wit component is passive xover rite?so i guess it's easier to tune if we r running passive... how we know whether an amp can switch low or high to seperate pair of channel? many thanks to beetle for clarify all this to me....

@Mar 2 2005, 21:26 hey.newbie here.just wondering, is it possible to modify a amp to get higher power or clearer+warmer sound?if there is where do i go abt to mod?thanks :huh: :D i also ever asked this question... but my fren(electrician) told me.. u need to change almost 90% of the components in the amp... get a new one.. less hassle...

wow 90% of the component...i guess it is wiser to get a new amp..but due to budget constrain i guess it is not possible for me :( [/b][/quote] btw, i don think that body who told me this can do it too... not an easy task ler.. wht if the components he used it lousy one? might not getting the quality but just the power only... ehehehe....

 

[ckho]

many thanks to beetle for clarify all this to me....

yes you're right, there would be a tact switch normally written high or low or full either on the top of corner of the amp

[Bert]

Full is to play the full signal sent to ur amp. no HP or LP at all.

Another thing to look at is the frequency you are HP or LP at.

I'm not a sifu but I will try to say my point of view ok.

since you already have a component why not stay with that? with your budget... to me quite tight still... he he he... :P

get the 4 channel amp which can be bridge. then only get a sub. stay there until budget 2005 year half comes :P ;)

 

[Bert]

Get a decent 4 channel amp first... interested in a PPI PCX-440? PM me for details

THen get a sub.. currently I saw a Peerless XLS for sale in IASCA which would be a good start for you. That should cost
After you installed the amp and sub, look at what you feel lacking and either upgrade your components or your HU. At least with this you can look for a good set of comps slowly and audit them before purchase.

Take it slow when deciding to upgrade. If you want, gimem a call or we can meet up and discuss more on what you want.. easier to talk over the phone than to post lar.
