Hey everyone,
So I recently I've been messing around with the sound system in my car, and here is the set up:
I got a head unit and ran RCA cables to the back of the car to an amplifier which is connected to two 12" subwoofers. So in total I have two speakers in the dashboard (don't know what size but smaller than 6" x 9") and two speakers in the back (6" x 9") and two subs in the trunk.
Right now, when I push the volume up to half way the subwoofers aren't playing that loud and the rest of the speakers sound like they are ready to explode.
So, now the problem to tackle becomes: I want the speakers and subwoofers to play the frequencies they were designed to play (subwoofers playing low and 6x9 speakers playing high frequencies).
That means I'm going to have to build four separate high pass filters (there's no way to do it with one without ruining stereo?). Also, that means I'm need to find out what is the max output of the head unit and build the circuit to be able to handle that output. Can anyone explain what that means in regards to the circuit, and possibly suggest a good one?
