2 sets of Ti Elite 6.5 is a TI 475 4 way enough juice??????

Post by james--hughes »

I am powering 2 sets of TI Elite 6.5 mids and tweeters (4 Mids, 4 tweets) off of a TI 475 4 channel. Is this enough or am I way under powering them? I am really unsure if this is enough as from what I have read they are really power hungry.

you tell us? how do they sound to YOU

they certainly can take more power. and i noticed mine responded well to it (moved from a xs2300 to a xenon200.2)

but if they sound good to you why mess with it?

Even in the Elite manual it shows a 475Ti/500.4 pushing them t 75 watts per side. Yea they'll be fine. To see if you'll like the 75 watts, temporarily bridge the amp to 2 chs at 250 per side and run one set.

As Brian mentioned it livened his set up. You might like it better too.

Ok I guess I will try it both ways and see what happens. I am going to sound deaden the doors this weekend and close up all the holes. That will hopefully wake the speakers up too. Finding the mid bass is horrible right now.

put a complete layer of damping between the door and the door panel if you can and you will notice a big difference......

the sound deadening WILL make a substantial difference!
