one thing is when you bridge it i dont think you can get both the front and rear channels to have the same cross over frequency.the rear channel i think would be crossed over lower. or maybe you guys know some thing i dont it just seems like ive had that prob before.one weird thing was when i bridge...

im not thinking looks were the major concern when they built that amp. most amps that look bad that you wouldnt think sound good put much better looking amps to shame sound wise.it may be the most ugly looking amp ever made that being said it must also be the best sounding amp ever made as well.

to clarify if you where to put a 6 or 8ohm tweet in place of a 4ohm it would lower the cut off freq.also one would think the tweeter would not see as much power. but it seems as though my 8ohm dyns where way louder to the point where the ti5 was bairly being heard.amps at the time where the 0.3 and ...

i remember about two different times in the stereo shop someone asked what would happen if you put two midranges on the same crossover.and we were told it would change the frequency but i dont remember if he said it would raise or lower the frequency and how much it would change it.

mq430 gain potentiometer

thanks for the response i read some where on the phorum there was an upgrade for those potentiometers. but no one elaborated on that so i will probably check with phoenix gold.but the new tech guys arent the best of help maybe there not as experienced with the older amps. thanks
