When I was in college I used to know this stuff like the back of my hand as I got academically suspended from school because all I messed with was my car audio system, but any way......
If I have a 4 channel amp, lets say 50 x 4; when in 2 ohm mode it's 125w per channel. I plan on running my sub off of the rear 2 channels in bridged mode and the front to channels for all 4 6.5's which will be replaced. My questions is do you divide the power rating among the 2 speakers for each side (left & right) when matching up which speakers to use. I don't want to overpower them. Do I take the 125w and assume 62.5w are going to go to each 6.5? Hopefully the question is clear.
Next question, the amp I am considering has high level inputs. I was intending on running front channel from factory HU into amp and sub output from factory HU in to amp; yes I know I will lose front to back fading, but I think I would rather have same sub control from factory HU since I think I'll use it more that fade. I have 2 questions regarding this....I assume the factory HU has built in crossover, what frequency is th crossover point? My second question is would it be ok to run the single sub output from factory HU to the rear channels, both left and right, on the high inputs on the amp. In essence, split the sub output wire to go to both left and right on the high input on the amp.
I hope the questions are clear and I appreciate your time and response.
