whatgood for mids & tweets?

ch00dlz

Someone told me a multi-channel amplifier is better for the mids & tweets? Is this true versus the bi-channel amp? Multi-channel amp meaning 345 channels versus a 2 channel amp?

Thanks in advance!:)

Depends on how you want to run your system. If you want to go active or want to bi-amp a component set, then a multi-channel amp will work.

You could also use one if you want to run front and rear speakers.

You lost me...sorry bout that.:o

I just heard that the sound quality is more better with a multi channel amp versus a bi-channel amp which I was thinking of running.

What do you mean by "go Active"?:o Bi-amp meaning 2 channels? Would that sound more efficient than a multi-channel amp (3ch, 4ch)? I'm running POLK Momo MMC5250's. They're componants with crossovers.

Thank you for your reply!:)

You can still bi-amp your 5250's and use the passive crossover that came with them.

Simply run the front channels of the amp to the tweeter inputs of the x-over and the rear channels of the amp to the mids inputs and youre set. This way you can control the tweeters output a lot better by using the front channels gain.

The Polk C400.4 amp would be a great choice for this. Its built specifically to power Momo components. It also has a very good crossover on it and it has the Pre-Eq switch which is a pre-programmed crossover for the Momo componentes.
