      I have 4 door speakers rated at 125 watts RMS and are 8 ohm. I bought a 4 channel amp that was supposed to be 150watt RMS per channel but actually are around 80 watt rms at 4 ohms. If I parallel the speakers to 4 ohms and bridged the 4 channel amp to 2 channels then how many watts am I going to get each speaker? Am I better off just running 1 speaker per channel?

    from watching this video (excellent content btw) I've used the foam rings in my door speakers and they make a great job of cleaning up any remaining distortion or vibration transfered into the door card, sound deadening and foam rings are an absolute must for quality sound before anything else.

    @anodyne6760 6 лет назад +1

    Crutchfield and Amazon both sell the Roadkill FAST foam baffle rings from Stinger that will act as a foam enclosure to direct your speaker sound outward. They're $25 a pair unless on sale. It's not the full mod effort CAF shows here but it'll help focus sound forward. I'd also suggest adding some sound deadening material behind the woofer cone somewhere. You may not care about road noise but it'll help quite a bit to dampen sound LEAVING your car, redirecting it toward the rider(s) and helping reduce the exterior noise so people outside aren't overly disturbed by your audio. If you have limited supply of dampening material, apply the most BEHIND the speaker so that you're at least dampening and redirecting sound where the source is. It'll be best to apply throughout each door your speaker is mounted but localizing it is always the most effective application when working without an excess of materials.
    Thanks to CAF for all these tutorials. Learning plenty on the manufacturing side of the car audio process that I didn't know would make such a big difference.

    Nice addition with the foam. We would always space the speaker until it was as close to the panel without touching as possible so you wouldn't get any refraction from being recessed so much though the foam should absorb any soundwaves as opposed to reflecting them. Good work.

Also, my factory speaker is about 1/4 inch shorter than the focal aftermarkets i'm installing. that will give me 1.75" to work with and the glass shouldn't touch the speaker.

    Thanks for the info, I'm preparing to install my front components this week and my local Car AV shop sold me a silicone baffle set exactly like the NVX XBAF65 set instead of those FAST rings, I was wondering if they will work the same or the foam is a better material to seal and direct the sound out.
    Part of me is worried that all the snow we have for half of the year will affect and rot the foam. I do already have a sub in the back and might return these baffles and put that money to some SoundSkins sound mat if it's a more noticeable improvement over the baffle.
    Thank you for your help and advice in this channel. I'm asking you because I trust your advice more than armchair audio "experts" online and the salespeople at my local shops.
