So... with the included capacitor 3.3 uf this is effectively at 12 khz and above super horn? wold it work better with 6.6 uf cap crossing it ~6.0khz?

Product description: 2K crossover point using the included capacitor. If you wish to cross it higher as a super tweeter, I'd suggest you contact Part's Express tech support for the correct capacitor. Cheers.

You could wire it that way running some in series and some in parallel if you know what you're doing, but getting good balance might be tricky. For example, you could run 4x6 in series with a 6.5 on each of the two front channels, the 6x9s on the back channels, then run the sub channel bridged with the 8s in series in parallel to the 12s in series. You'd probably be louder and sound better just ditching the 4x6s and 8s though and using the amp like it was meant to be used. I run 4 6.5s and 1 12 and its retardedly loud

I have mine connected to 4 ohm Polk speakers and it works perfectly. You should not have any problems with 6 ohm speakers. The Motiva is a lot of power for a reasonable price.

Wow, the same thing happened to me, and yes, it is in the manual! Hold the tuning "up" (+) button while turning on the power, and it will switch from the European (9kHz) to the U.S. (10 kHz), which sets it back to 580, 590, 600, etc., rather than the off numbers. Best 10 minutes I ever spent on the internets!

It seems more flexible than CATV RG6 to me. That could be due to the dielectric used. It's audio cable. Should be 75 ohms.

I have 2 of these amps I placed 1st at local sound comp 149.9 db luis is a tard it pushed 2 18 dc hard also check the imp. 0.02 pretty good for a cheap amp never overheat no problems I sugg a 2 far. cap to run with it

I'm using mine with 6ohm (84db Sensitivity) Apogee Centaurs and it sounds amazing. I would think that your setup should be fine depending on the sensitivity of your speakers.

If you are going to use a single 12" it is better if you get the dual 2 ohm as this will come down to 1 ohm and most amps would be 1 ohm stable in this power braket. 1000 rms at 1 ohm is good enough to shake this beast. Doesnt need more.i have used 2.5 and 3 cube boxes. 3 is better. It is not a low frequency sub so dont tune too low. 38 hz is lowest i would go. It is loud though !!! Excellent value for your money. Just remember to break it in well before you turn it up.

I compared the Fugoo to my mom's UE BOOM last night. The BOOM blows the Fugoo out of the water (louder, crisper sound, deeper bass, not as tinny at high volume) and it's $30 cheaper. I read about the firmware update that "makes it louder". I will try this and report back.EDIT - I upgraded firmware from 1.00.14 to 1.00.53 which enables "loud mode". It made no difference.

I put these in old Community Floor Monitors and they played well with the original horn. Not a lot of bass but that may be from the design of the cab. For stage monitors I don't want a lot of bass anyway. Let the subs do the bass for the venue. I Prefer EV or JBL to Cerwin Vega for mains. I'd recommend the higher end EVs if you can afford them. JBL are easily overdriven and damaged if you are not careful in your setup and mixing.

That would be awesome. You can see the difference especially on high frequencies. I definitely recommend. I compared this with some others and I got the best result with it.

Yes works!!!but I recommend you buy a wiring harness (Universal plag and play wiring harness SNPNP) for better performance of the horn.

I had it running four 6.5 marine speakers and the power shuts off every time I turn the volume up 3/4 of the way. I returned it and purchased the Cadence fma 600. Hooked it up to the same four 6.5 marine speakers PLUS a 12" sub and it sounded awesome. Didn't have a problem with the volume all the way up.

Unless you're crossing an ocean on your sailboat with a finite amount of power, selection goes as follows: if you have a relay already, just wire up. If you do not have a horn relay on your vehicle, like an old car or truck, wire in 1 relay for the horn set. I really respect this set of horns on my 190D 2.5 Turbo in San Francisco, anything larger would not represent an automobile. When a car has train horns, you can't visually match the sound to the vehicle trying to communicate. Only twice has this horn been unaffective, those two people were obviously under the influence and already decided what they were doing. So, only twice have I wished I had an air horn. Tonight being the 2nd time in a year of driving in SF, using them 3 times aday. These are great, and with an artful application of the horn, it can be made to sound different depending on your needs.

That piece is poor quality, don't use it. I have a 200 watt infinity sub and it sounds great without it.

You do NEED some type of crossover with these or they can and will be damaged. The stock caps are for a 7.5KHz 1st order filter. I have been running mine using a 5.5KHz 2nd order passive crossover @ 16W Rms for about 2 months now. The lowest you could go is about 3KHz using a 3rd order. But their accuracy is fairly poor below 6KHz.

In theory the 4 way speakers should be able to produce better high notes and maybe be able to deliver a slightly better low end because of its slightly bigger size, but because I have not used the 6.5inch 3-way speakers I could not give you a definite answer.
